A VLSI Brain System Integrating Massively-Parallel Subconscious Processing With Sequential Conscious Processing in the Mind

这项研究旨在开发一种类似人类的智能系统，能够灵活地了解情况，做出快速决策，并对发生的事情立即采取行动。几个大规模并行体系结构的处理器已经被开发出来，每个处理器都致力于大脑中特定的潜意识处理，例如对图像及其运动的感知。通过整合这些芯片由传统顺序处理器提供的原始信息，我们成功地建立了一个类似人类的智能系统，可以跟踪移动的物体，并识别他们是什么，如果他们是人类，他们正在采取什么行动。

The research aims to develop a human-like intelligent system that can flexibly understand the situation, make a quick decision and take an immediate action against a happening. Several massively-parallel-architecture processors each dedicated to specific subconscious processing in the mind such as perception of images and their motions have been developed. By integrating such primitive information provided from these chips by a conventional sequential processor, we have successfully built a human-like intelligent system that can track moving objects and recognize what they are and, if they are humans, what actions they are taking.
