Phase 1: 1cm^3 NCC June 6, 2005 November 26, 2007 Detailed Cellular scale (10,000 neurons) Full Neocortex Modular Atomic (days/ms), Genetic (another 5-10 years) Cellular 100,000 Point Source -100 million (mouse brain)
Learning/
self-wiring
built robot rat Whole new models to connect sensory cortex to hardware
Decades of research on 2 year old rat somatosensory cortex Hundreds of new data points a day 50% success rate
Blue Column 1
The microcircuits (from left to right) for layers 2, 3, 4 and 5
Blue Column 2
A single thick tufted layer 5 pyramidal neuron located within the column. c | One pyramidal neuron in layer 2, a small pyramidal neuron in layer 5 and the large thick tufted pyramidal neuron in layer 5. d | An image of the NCC, with neurons located in layers 2 to 5.
Patch
Insert 12+ ion channels in each component compartment based on HH models & studies
October
Each neuron is unique within statistically determined bounds procedurally generated Stored in database after creation Each layer procedurally generated from database then shifted/rotated to avoid collisions
Generating
the column takes longer than running it Simulation runs at 1/100th real time
Individual synapses functionalized and plasticized with learning algorithms Map Neuron to Processor 1:1 10:1
Axons
Expected Consequences
NCC output will approach convergence NCCs will begin to appear similar (lack of molecular detail to tie in genetic elements)
Future Work
Experimental Aid How complex of a problem can an NCC solve Emergence of Conciousness
