BRAIN Journal-Brain-Like Artificial Intelligence for Automation-Figure 7. Function Principle of Neuro-Symbols

<p>In Figure 7, the basic function principle of neuro-symbols is illustrated. One characteristic of neuro-symbols is that they represent symbolic information. In the case of perception, this symbolic inforamtion are perceptual images like for instance a face or a voice (see Section 4.2.1.2 for more details). Furthermore, neuro-symbols show a number of analogies to biological neurons. They have an activation degree (AD), which indicates if the perceptual image that each neuro-symbol respresents is currently perceived in the environment. Each neuro-symbol has a certain number of inputs and one output. Via the inputs, information about the activation degree of other neurosymbols is collected. Like illustrated in the example of Figure 7, a neuro-symbol representing a face could for instance receive information from neuro-symbols representing a head, eyes, and a mouth.</p>
