Thoughts on Development and Research of Science,Technology and Engineering Application of Brain & Mind-inspired Computing

Abstract

To develop a new generation of brain-inspired intelligence,we need to comprehensively consider the structure,function and behavior of natural intelligence.Bias in any direction is not comprehensive,and it is difficult to fully touch the essence of intelligence.Based on the structure simulation of nervous system,the function emulation of cognitive system and the behavior imitation of natural intelligence,this paper defines the basic concept of brain & mind-inspired computing(BMC),puts forward the hypothesis,model and framework of BMC,and studies the frontier theory of BMC.Then it explores and analyzes the technical route,core algorithms and key technologies of BMC research,and summarizes the current situation of complex system and engineering application of BMC in the aspects of brain mechanism,mental model and behavior control.Combined with the multidisciplinary and interdisciplinary characteristics of intelligence science,neuroscience,cognitive science,information science and computational mathematics,it further discusses the research paradigm and transdisciplinary construction of BMC,brain-inspired computing and brain-like computing.Reserch of BMC is expected to make a major breakthrough in the scientific theory,technological innovation and engineering system of the new generation of brain-inspired intelligence.
