A stimulus-response system and conscious response enable humans to respond effectively to environmental changes and external stimuli. This paper presents an artificial stimulus-response system that is inspired by human conscious response and is capable of emulating it. The system is composed of an artificial visual receptor, artificial synapse, artificial neuron circuits, and actuator. By incorporating these artificial nervous components, a series of conscious response processes that markedly reduces response time as a result of learning from repeated stimuli are demonstrated. The proposed artificial stimulus-response system offers the promise of a new research field that would aid the development of artificial intelligence-based organs for patients with neurological disorders.
刺激-反应系统和有意识反应使人类能够有效地应对环境变化和外部刺激。本文提出了一种受人类有意识反应启发并能够对其进行模拟的人工刺激-反应系统。该系统由人工视觉感受器、人工突触、人工神经元电路和致动器组成。通过整合这些人工神经组件，展示了一系列有意识反应过程，这些过程由于从重复刺激中学习而显著缩短了反应时间。所提出的人工刺激-反应系统为一个新的研究领域带来了希望，该领域将有助于为神经疾病患者开发基于人工智能的器官。
