| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
By using fuzzy reasoning, suitable for analyzing biological signals, we established methods for neuronal electrical activity pattern identification and analyzed the short-term memory effect in a semi - artificial cultured neural network. This hysteresis effect shows that it is possible to actually use living neuronal cells as a memory element. We also clarified that input to the living neuronal network not only evoked the action potential at a nerve cell but also that the influence of this input changes the internal state of the neuronal network and propagates over time in complicated way. These results suggest the possibility of realizing intelligent information processing quite different from the operation principle of conventional artificial intelligence.
