Steve, OpenCog aims to embody the key functions of the human *mind*, but doesn't have processing elements closely analogous to neurons.... You say "any prospective AGI platform absolutely **MUST** be capable of performing substantially all of the information processing functions that have been observed in neurons." but I think the truth is more like "any prospective AGI platform absolutely **MUST** be capable of performing substantially all of the high-level cognitive information processing functions that have been observed in human mind/brains" -- Ben G ------------------------------------------- AGI Archives: https://www.listbox.com/member/archive/303/=now RSS Feed: https://www.listbox.com/member/archive/rss/303/21088071-f452e424 Modify Your Subscription: https://www.listbox.com/member/?member_id=21088071&id_secret=21088071-58d57657 Powered by Listbox: http://www.listbox.com
