Artificial Brains
"Parker said we want devices to handle unexpected circumstances"

That's the kicker. Will it be a difference engine or will it be able to make decisions when given un-thought-of situations?

Neurons over chips!!
Still a long a way to go but it's a great effort to mimic actual neuron activity over an electronic circuit. Using carbon nano tubes will greatly reduce the size of these circuits thus giving a room to incorporate more synapses in lesser space. It would really be great watching these artificial neurons working in collaboration to perform a specific function whether it's computation, motor activity, sensing or actually thinking like our real brain does...

Neural Networks
I appreciate the content of this article but I take opposition to the way it's being presented. Artificial brains did not start with nanotechnology but with the relatively long existing neural network: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Neural_network Artificial synapses have long existed and have even been programmed to exhibit differential threshholds. They can even 'learn' through 'experience,' which is, as I understand it, they're main function.

Great!
Glad to hear this. Hopefully these new carbon brains will be just as tasty as the real human brains I've been enjoying for so long.
Lots of love,
