Abstract

Abstract

Artificial Intelligence (AI) is a broad area of computer science which deals with making intelligent machines, often computer programs inspired by intelligence in biological organisms. Intelligence arises from the interplay of many billion neurons in the brain. The aim of this thesis is to create a functional implementation of human memory, following the biological model as closely as possible. Current work involves simulating memory by using groups of neurons called 'Cell Assemblies', which are believed to be the basis of many cognitive processes.
