A typical neural network simulation uses several bits per synapse. A Hopfield net implementation of an associative memory stores 0.15 bits per synapse. But cognitive models suggest the human brain stores .000001 bits per synapse. (There are 10^15 synapses but human long term memory capacity is 10^9 bits). -- Matt Mahoney, [EMAIL PROTECTED] ------------------------------------------- singularity Archives: http://www.listbox.com/member/archive/11983/=now RSS Feed: http://www.listbox.com/member/archive/rss/11983/ Modify Your Subscription: http://www.listbox.com/member/?member_id=4007604&id_secret=96140713-a54b2b Powered by Listbox: http://www.listbox.com
