of all approaches to machine intilligence and in so doing suggesting that all the
existing methods fall short of what is needed.
Organizations
International Society of Artificial Life -
The most diverse and open group related to theoretical neuroscience.
CNS - Organization for Computational Neuroscience
- The group trying to understand realistic neural networks from within the traditional
university system.
On Intelligence Forum
- Probably the most thoughtful forum discussing biological and artificial intelligence
on the web and the only one I visit from time to time.
