Krichmar’s Research with AI Featured on Medium

A groundbreaking project by Professor Jeff Krichmar and the Neurorobotics Lab explored methods to bring primary consciousness into machines using Gerald Edelman’s Extended Theory of Neuronal Group Selection.

Following the theory, which suggests that consciousness emerges through interactions among neuronal groups, similar to the process of natural selection, Prof. Krichmar and team aimed to mimic the evolutionary development of consciousness in artificial intelligence. The Neurorobotics Lab have initiated environments that simulate neuronal group selections, creating AI that can recognize its environment, make predictions, and learn from interactions without human intervention.

Prof. Krichmar and team’s dictation and achievements were featured on popular article platform Medium.
