Output-driven operation and memory-based architecture principles embedded in a real-world device.
Two principles of neurocomputational design are implemented into an autonomous real-world device, such as a helicopter. The helicopter has a motivational component towards emitting motor responses in a manner similar to a fledging bird. We expect these two principles, together with an understanding of integrative brain activity and memory in which functionally and selectively distributed neural networks operate in vivo will eventually lead to the embodiment of cognition in a brain-like computer as an engineering counterpart of a real brain.
