Experimental evidence has shown that the primate neocortex consists in the main of a set of cortical regions which form a perception hierarchy, an action hierarchy and connections between them. By using a computer science analysis, we develop a computational architecture for the brain in which each cortical region is represented by a computational module with processing and storage abilities. Modules are interconnected according to the connectivity of the corresponding cortical regions. We develop computational principles for designing such a hierarchical and parallel computing system. We demonstrate this approach by proposing a causal functioning model of the brain. We report on results obtained with an implementation of this model. We conclude with a brief discussion of some consequences and predictions of our work.
实验证据表明，灵长类动物的新皮层主要由一组皮质区域组成，这些区域形成了一个感知层次结构、一个动作层次结构以及它们之间的连接。通过使用计算机科学分析，我们开发了一种大脑的计算架构，其中每个皮质区域由一个具有处理和存储能力的计算模块表示。模块根据相应皮质区域的连接性相互连接。我们开发了用于设计这种分层并行计算系统的计算原理。我们通过提出大脑的因果功能模型来证明这种方法。我们报告了该模型实现所获得的结果。最后，我们简要讨论了我们工作的一些后果和预测。
