Working on simulating a complete nervous system (i.e. C Elegans Connectome) and connecting to a robot so we can see an entire organism simulated from environment to a simulated "brain". To my surprise the robot behaves in a similar manner as the worm; i.e. I wire the sonar to activate nose touch sensory neurons and when the robot comes upon an obstacle, it will stop, reverse a bit and change direction. This is not a program that tells the robot to stop, reverse and change direction but the connectome. This proves in part that we are our connectome. Furthermore, I have created a true "thinking" and autonomous inorganic creature. Currently I am analyzing the captured neural data to validate against the biological creature. Next I want to apply to an autonomous ground vehicle for exploration = throw a hundred of these guys out in the desert and have them search for minerals.
