Notwithstanding many different perspectives\ntowards developing intelligent machines, artificial intelligence has ultimately\nbeen influenced by neuroscience. Therefore, this paper provides an introduction\nto biologically inspired machine intelligence by exploring the basic principles\nof sensation and perception as well as the structure and behavior of biological\nsensory nervous systems like the neocortex. Concepts like spike timing,\nsynaptic plasticity, inhibition, neural structure, and neural behavior are\napplied to a new model, Simple Cortex (SC). A software implementation of SC has\nbeen built and demonstrates fast observation, learning, and prediction of\nspatio-temporal sensory-motor patterns and sequences. Finally, this paper\nsuggests future areas of improvement and growth for Simple Cortex and other\nrelated machine intelligence models.","url_abs":"http://arxiv.org/abs/1710.01347v1","url_pdf":"http://arxiv.org/pdf/1710.01347v1.pdf","source":{"archive":"pwc-archive (Hugging Face), CC BY-SA 4.0","snapshot":"2025-07-28","licence_url":"https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-sa/4.0/legalcode","row_kind":"abstracts"},"code_links":[{"paper_slug":"simple-cortex-a-model-of-cells-in-the-sensory","repo_url":"https://github.com/ddigiorg/simple-cortex","is_official":1,"mentioned_in_paper":1,"mentioned_in_github":1,"framework":"none","reach":null}],"tasks":[],"methods":[],"datasets_introduced":[],"methods_introduced":[],"results":[],"syntology":{"syntology_url":null,"atlas_url":null,"mcp":null,"developers":"https://syntology.ai/developers"},"arxiv_metadata":null,"syntology_extracted_results":null}
