Research on the Development of Integration of Neuroscience and Artificial Intelligence

Abstract

Since the birth of the subject of artificial intelligence, the long-term goal of this subject is to realize the intelligent system of human level. However, after nearly 60 years of development, no general intelligent system has been able to approach the level of human beings: it has the ability to cooperate with a variety of different cognitive abilities; it has a strong adaptive ability to complex environments; it has the ability of self-learning to new things and new environments. With the development of Brain and Neuroscience and Cognitive Science, it is possible to observe some activities of Brain Neural Networks under various cognitive tasks at different scales and obtain relevant data. Therefore, inspired by brain working mechanism, the development of Brain-like Intelligence has become a hotspot in the field of Artificial Intelligence and Computational Science in recent years. Machine Intelligence Brain-like Intelligence System (MIBS) inspired by cognitive behavior mechanism and realized by hardware and software cooperation is similar to human beings in information processing mechanism, cognitive behavior and intelligence level. The goal is to enable machines to realize various human cognitive abilities and their coordination mechanism, and ultimately reach or surpass the level of human intelligence. In this paper, we will study from the perspective of brain science, cognitive science and artificial intelligence. This paper reviews the history, current situation and research focus of brain-like intelligence research, and looks forward to its development direction, potential application fields and potential far-reaching impact.
