Brain-Inspired Systems (BIS): Cognitive Foundations and Applications

Abstract

Brain-Inspired Systems (BIS) are an emerging field of brain and intelligence sciences that studies natural intelligence models of AI and cognitive systems in one direction, and the formal models of the brain simulated by computational intelligence in another direction. A typical BIS is the cognitive robots that mimic and implement the brain through all cognitive levels. BIS provides insights for brain-machine interfaces (BMI), which may lead to novel man-machine interactions and hybrid intelligent systems. BIS may also advance classic computers from dada processors to the next generation of knowledge processors mimicking the brain. BIS will underpin a wide range of engineering paradigms such as cognitive systems, cognitive computers, cognitive robots, machine learning systems, semantic comprehension systems, big data systems, unmanned systems, self-driving vehicles and hybrid man-machine systems.
