Brain like temporal processing

Abstract

This chapter presents a general purpose model of the brain, called Developmental Networks (DN). Rooted in the biological genomic equivalence principle, our model proposes a general-purpose cell-centered in-place learning scheme to handle all levels of brain development and operation, from the cell level all the way to the brain level. It clarifies five necessary "chunks" of the brain "puzzle": development, architecture, area, space and time. Then, this chapter analyzes how such a model enables a developmental robot to deal with temporal contexts. It deals with temporal context of any length without a dedicated temporal component. © 2011 Springer-Verlag Berlin Heidelberg.
