SPAUN (Semantic Pointer Architecture Unified Network)

SPAUN (Semantic Pointer Architecture Unified Network) is an advanced computer model that simulates aspects of the human brain. It integrates different brain functions—like memory, vision, and decision-making—using a unified framework called semantic pointers, which efficiently represent complex information. SPAUN can perform tasks such as recognizing objects, planning actions, and reasoning, making it a valuable tool for understanding how the brain processes information and for developing smarter artificial intelligence systems. It demonstrates how different cognitive abilities work together seamlessly, providing insights into both neuroscience and AI development.
