Neuromorphic Emulation
What if machines could truly see?
Not just recognize visual patterns through statistical correlations, but perceive the world with the elegance and efficiency as the human mind. An achievement long considered the "Holy Grail of Computer Vision."
Imagine a fully fledged real-time computer simulation of a visual cortex:
A computer program capable of interpreting images exactly as a human would, while mirroring the efficiency, computational density, versatility and adaptability of organic visual cortices.
This is not imitation; It is functional convergence.
Extremely low power consumption under 20 watts, little to no cooling required, rapid generalization, object constancy, learning, and recognition on par with human perception and understanding, all without any training data, whatsoever.
There are a plethora of different visual cortices found in various animals. This is one that is constructed artificially, existing as a computer simulation, contained within a microprocessor, rather than a skull. This software is an algorithm, but each component could be expressed as a self-referential network of physical connections, allowing for the conversion of this software from its algorithmic form to an emulation of organic intelligence, creating a digital twin. Constructing a visual cortex completely from scratch might as well be one of its many possible forms; One of many solutions to getting an animal to see and interpret the world.
The emulation component operates exactly as the brain,
Beginning as an empty space containing a chemical environment dictating what type of nerve cells develop based on where it’s located, for different regions, harbors distinct chemical signatures, each biasing the emergence of specific cell types. These proto-neurons branch out through stochastic impulses and guidance cues emitted from surrounding cells, wandering through their environment in search of other cells. In this way, the environment does not host growth, -it sculpts it.
Over time, local connections drive global self-organization, forming circuits with increasingly coherent structure and function. Through iterative growth, feedback, and pruning, the system evolves. What begins as a chemically modulated proliferation of points develops into a self- referential network capable of understanding structured visual input the exact same way humans do. In essence, a synthetic cortex arises from the interaction of local rules and environmental gradients.
