Abstract:
1. A mobile brain-based device for navigating in a real-world environment, comprising: a) a mobile adaptive device having sensors for sensing multi-modal information in the real-world environment; b) a simulated nervous system for receiving and processing the multi-modal information sensed by the sensors and, in response, for outputting information to control movement of said mobile adaptive device in the environment; and c) wherein said simulated nervous system includes sensor input streams, an output motor stream, and a neural area analogous to the hippocampus and coupled to said sensor input streams and to said output motor stream of the simulated nervous system, and wherein said sensor input streams comprise a neural area analogous to an inferotemporal cortex (IT), a neural area analogous to a parietal cortex (Pr), and a neural area analogous to an anterior thalamic nuclei (ATN) system.
