Brain Simulator II: Open-Source AGI Research Toolkit

What Makes Brain Simulator Unique?

Brain Simulator II is a free, open-source software project for creating the next phase of artificial intelligence (AI) – Artificial General Intelligence (AGI). Many important features set it apart from other Artificial Intelligence software:

• The AGI Strategy: an experimental platform which can be easily revised to create any desired functionality.
• Easy User Interface: a graphical neuron and module display which allows users to explore/modify the network’s internal working in real time.
• Powerful Spiking Neuron Engine: tested with a billion neurons, the Brain Simulator can process up to 2.5 billion synapses per second on a desktop computer. Networks can be distributed across multiple servers.
• AGI Modules and Applications: which perform a variety of AI tasks and combine with the neuron engine to demonstrate vision, mobility, internal modeling, language, and planning.

Features

• Millions of neurons on your desktop. Processing in real time!
• Create networks from scratch or from a library of functions.
• Seamlessly spread huge neuron arrays across a multiple servers.
• More than 50 modules for speech, vision, and robotic controls.
• Universal Knowledge Store (UKS) stores ANY kind of information in links equivalent to synapses.
• Write your own modules.

Strategy: Today, the Brain Simulator's simple 2D and 3D simulators sidestep complexity starting with just a few object types, a few possible attributes, a few relationships and a small vocabulary. This year's expansion will include learning new objects, attributes, and relationships as they are encountered within the environment.

Objective: Intended to create an end-to-end AGI system with modules for vision, hearing, robotic control, learning, internal modelling, and even planning, imagination, and forethought. The incremental development strategy is creating the simplest ideas first.

Completely Free! BrainSim II is available under the MIT License which allows for virtually all use.

Requirements: You'll need Windows 10 and (for development) Visual Studio 2019 or later.
