SCANDLE

The SCANDLE project involved building computer models of how we learn to hear. The aim of this project was to help to design devices, that is machines, that learn to make sense of the world by experiencing it via artificial sensory systems.

If this sounds a bit like robotics to you, then you are pretty close. There are important differences between what motivates me and more conventional robotics, but in the end it leads to machines that are more useful, reliable, and flexible.

However, because we were doing this in a way that closely resembles the way a living organism would do it, we also hope to learn something about the way brains work at the same time.

This was originally part of an EU funded project called SCANDLE► which you can find out a little about if you follow the link.
