Neurocomputers

A neurocomputer is a computer that interfaces with the electrochemical impulses of the biological nervous system -- communicating with branches of the peripheral nervous system or with central nervous system structures. Neural networks are being successfully applied in the area of medical practice - trained to recognize patterns of disease or pending disease so that steps will generally be taken to reverse or prevent health problems. For example, neural networks will likely be trained on medical record information to recognize patterns of clinical indicators (eg. blood pressure, temperature, pulse, respiration, blood chemistry, scan results) that have a high likelihood of being followed by adverse health events. A "Genobot" is a robot whose learning and control functions are built on biologic computing modules (such DNA computing chips), Genetic Algorithms (GAs) that imitate biologic evolutionary processes, or both. Genobots do not yet exist, but there is rapid progress in the subject of biologic computing. Biological computing allows extensive parallel processing and will facilitate adaptive neural networks. This could enable genobots to function in multi-faceted and changing surroundings in which normal robots would fail. Complex, successful organisms will generally result from the synergistic operation of basic, automatic adaptive mechanisms. In the domain of evolutionary robotics, these concepts are practical to robot development. Rather than innovation robots whose components and software are fully specified, evobots are created with elemental, adaptive mechanisms and selective reproductive capability. Over time, their programming adapts to their biosphere. Cognitive neuroscience is an increasing area of study that incorporates an organic approach to studying the interface of the brain and mind. It depends on the intersection of neuroscience, psychology, and calculator science. Electrochemical processes at the cellular dimension form the foundations of brain function. While this differs from the predominantly electromechanical processes of many present-day computing hardware, this may variation as calculators evolve with optical and chemical processes in conjunction with electromechanical ones.
