Building a Digital Brain: Integrating Memory, Emotion and Decision-Making with Hyperdimensional Computing
Introduction
In the quest to emulate the complexities of the human brain, researchers have explored various computational paradigms to model cognitive functions. One such promising approach is Hyperdimensional Computing (HDC), which leverages high-dimensional vectors or hypervectors in order to represent and manipulate information in a manner inspired by neural processes.
In my previous blogs — “Simulating the Visual Cortex with Hyperdimensional Computing: A Comprehensive Guide”, “Emulating the Hippocampus: Hyperdimensional Memory Encoding and Retrieval with PyTorch”, and “The HDC-NSAI Amygdala Simulator: Bridging Neuroscience and Artificial Intelligence” — I dived into modelling specific brain regions using HDC and PyTorch.
Building upon these foundations, this comprehensive guide walks you through a combined script that integrates the visual cortex, hippocampus and amygdala simulators to create the basis for a Digital Brain. This simulation encompasses memory management, emotion detection, decision-making, cortical processing and real-time visualization, offering a holistic emulation of cognitive functions.
