Synaptic weights adapt to recognize objects. The network shown is a model of vision with an architecture similar to the organization of the brain’s ventral visual pathway, used to recognize visual objects. Like most neural models, it learns about its subject matter by modifying the strength the connection between units (the smallest boxes in the figure).

Summary

eCortex is a research and development company dedicated to the idea that the most important advances in artificial intelligence will come from a deep understanding of the mechanisms in the human brain.

eCortex performs basic and applied research for defense and intelligence agencies in programs where the challenges are broad enough to defy narrow algorithmic solutions. Ultimately, we aim to develop commercial products for robotics and analysis of image, video, and other data.
