ATR ' s Arti cial Brain ( CAM - Brain ) Project : A Sample of What IndividualCoDi - 1 Bit Model Evolved Neural Net Modules Can

This paper presents a sample of what evolved neural net circuit modules using the so called CoDi-1Bit neu-ral network model can do. The concern is to study the important issue of evolvability of the cellular automata (CA) based neural network circuits which grow and evolve in special FPGA (Field Programmable Gate Array) hardware. The specialized hardware which performs this evolution is labeled the CAM-Brain Machine (CBM). The CBM should make practical the assemblage of 10,000s of evolved neural net modules into humanly deened artiicial brains. A software sim-ulator of the CBM has been used to see just how evolv-able and functional individual evolved modules can be. This paper reports on some of the results of these simulations .
