I'm not sure what you are trying to say with those links. I know that people are working on mathematical models of neurons, it's just that the current models have little in common with real neuronal systems. The only systems that are described nicely are simple systems with very few neurons (eg. reflexes that involve two or three neurons). And more ambitious projects, like the Openworm project you linked to, can't seem to get past preliminary phases...
- T-A 12y agoI'm not sure how you can claim "reflexes that involve two or three neurons" are state of the art or that OpenWorm "can't seem to get past preliminary phases". Neither http://www.openworm.org/science.html http://www.openworm.org/science.html nor http://www.i-programmer.info/news/105-artificial-intelligence/7985-a-worms-mind-in-a-lego-body.html http://www.i-programmer.info/news/105-artificial-intelligenc... look like a preliminary phase to me. That's a system of more than 300 neurons, fully mapped, simulated and working, both virtually and hooked up to real sensors and actuators.
- jakobegger 12y agoI guess what I'm looking for is the comparison of the model with experiment. How do the researchers know that they are simulating c. Elegans, and not just an artificial organism inspired by c elegans?
