In this short demo, Boahen describes how his Brains in Silicon lab at Stanford University has created computer chips with “synapses” and “neurons” – and how these chips might allow us to simulate the activities of the human brain. In his demo he shows how to teach character recognition to the chip, and then how the chip uses it’s learning to correctly identify the letterform.

Indeed a very interesting glimpse into the workings of brains as they ‘read’.
