Brain Modeling with Brytes - Making Big Brains from a Lot of Little Brains

David Zipser

2014

Abstract

Brytes are small brains used as subunits to model the cognitive processes of larger, smarter brains. A previously developed model of scratching behaviour that uses brytes to generate the coordinated movements of two arms, one with the itch site the other with the scratching hand is described. Then new strategies are described for using large sets of brytes with virtual locations all over the body to make decisions about whether scratching is safe in the current context and, if so, which appendage to use. Finally, the biological plausibility of brytes is examined in the contest of brain evolution and brain functional architecture.
