15 natural and synthetic computing structures The Brain IBM Blue Gene/L exist in three dimensional physical space but can deal with problems in hyper dimensional spaces NRI Workshop /18/

16 visual representation of the world through cortical maps Multiple stimulus modalities such as orientation, spatial frequency, ocular dominance are mapped into 2D+δ patches on the surface of the cortex (V1) Conflicting constraints Maximize coverage every location in the physical space is mapped to all possible combinations of stimulus modalities- Minimize wiring length and metabolic costs neurons with similar stimulus response should exist in closed proximity on the cortical surface (smoothness of mapping). The ice-cube model for stimulus representation in V1 (Hubel and Wiesel 1977) suggests stimulus modalities in orthogonal dimensions orientation ocular dominance NRI Workshop /18/
