BRN PRESS: NEURAL NETWORK TEACHES ITSELF TO COUNT CARS, page-4

Dated July 3, 2014 the letter is signed by Nicholas Spitzer, KI Director and Prof Ralph Greenspan, Director of KI’s Center for Brain Activity Mapping.
“Your invention of an artificial brain chip that has the ability to learn and evolve is a remarkable advance,” the letter says.
“Additionally and unlike other efforts, it operates at the speed of the brain, learns autonomously and has a low clock rate and low power consumption.

“Your coupling the brain chip to an artificial COCHLEA creates tremendous opportunities for creation of devices to assist the deaf and much more.
“This is exciting technology, with uses for medical instrumentation, industrial applications and scientific research.
“We look forward to assisting in its development and dissemination.”

[ The cochlea is the sense organ that translates sound into nerve impulses to be sent to the brain. Each person has two cochlea, one for each ear. The cochlea is a fluid-filled, snail shaped cavern in the mastoid bone of your skull behind each ear.]
