I think that having discussions on neural networks on this conference is a great idea and look forward to seeing some. One suggestion is cross- posting it to comp.ai. Perhaps the reason why current artifical intelligence work is not getting very intelligent is because AI researchers are trying to emulate human intelligence on a very inhuman machine. Perhaps the best way is to go back to the fundamentals of human intelligence ie. the nervous system, try to copy what is there and then build over the concepts. I am sure there are many researchers engaging in this field out there in netland and would like to hear about developments. If I may be so bold as to only state the obvious, if the answer to intelligence is having super-high speed logic circuits, then we would all have nerves made up of obscure semiconductors.
