Biologically Inspired Mechanisms for Processing Sensor Rich Environments
نویسنده
چکیده
Biological organisms use a combination of attention and arousal to control the amount of sensory data being sent to their central nervous system’s higher order processing. We propose using what neuroscience has learned about these natural mechanisms to construct a biologically inspired model of how sensor input can be filtered and fused in a large-scale DAI system. We then show how this model can be implemented using our Goal Mind agent environment and discuss how such an implementation can be tested.
