CCortex

CCortex™ is a complete 20-billion neuron simulation of the Human Cortex and peripheral systems, on a cluster of 500 computers – the largest neural network created to date.

Artificial Development is building CCortex to model a state-of-the-art simulation of the human brain. With 20 billion neurons and 20 trillion connections, CCortex is up to 10.000 times larger than any previous attempt to replicate, partially or completely, primary characteristics of Human Intelligence, and is the first neural system to achieve a level of complexity rivaling that of the mammalian brain.

CCortex mimics the structure of the human brain with a layered distribution of neural nets and detailed interconnections, and closely emulates specialized regions of the Human Cortex, Corpus Callosum, Anterior Commissure, Amygdala and Hippocampus. The simulation provides feedback and limited interaction with reduced, simplified functional versions of other nervous and sensory systems such as the Brainstem, Thalamus, Cerebellum, Retina and auditory processing systems.

CCortex will be able to perform a number of tasks previously unavailable to traditional computing by recreating the complexity and functionality of those cortical regions that are most likely responsible for processing higher-level functions of human intelligence.
