- Venn-networks
Venn networks are ""artificial neural network architectures"" are new work in Artificial Intelligence.
History
Venn-networks were proposed by Fernando Buarque during his PhD under supervision of Philippe De Wilde at
Imperial College London –University of London –England , in2002 .Brain Comparison
Venn-networks have the ability to mimic some
brain function at the same time their internal activity resemble what is seen in functional imaging of the brain (i.e.brain imaging ). Venn-networks can be used for various simulations of physiological and pathological scenarios of brain functions.Inspired by themorpho-functional organization of the brain , Venn-networks allow:
# use of different type ofprocessing units – “cortical column ”;
# specification of distinct regions within the network structure – “cortical area ”;
# use of a wide variety of connection type – “nerve fiber ” – among processing units; and,
# specification of a non-trivial connectivity based on the selection of fibers available. [cite paper
