Korean Brain Neuroinformatics Research Program: the 3rd phase. From biology to artificial systems through mathematical model

The Korean Brain Neuroinformatics Research Program would get into the 3rd phase from June 2004 for 4 years, which is regarded as the final phase of Korean Brain National Research Program started from November 1998 for 10 years sponsored by Ministry of Science and Technology. It is a joint effort of researchers from many different disciplines including neuroscience, cognitive science, mathematics, physics, electrical engineering, computer science, etc. In the 3rd phase we would like to continue our efforts on functional artificial systems for vision, auditory, inference, and behavior. Also, we would like to develop a "digital brain" to combine all the 4 functions, and an integrated demonstration system, i.e., "artificial secretary" alias "office mate" with exceptional human-like information processing capabilities. Researches on measurement and signal analysis for neuroscience are also included.
