although impressive scaling has been achieved, no previous large-scale spiking neuron models have demonstrated how such simulations connect to a variety of specific observable behaviors,”
 
From Modha’s blog: ” We have used<b> Compass to demonstrate numerous applications of the TrueNorth architecture, such as optic flow, attention mechanisms, image and audio classification, multi-modal image audio classification, character recognition, robotic navigation,</b> and spatio-temporal feature extraction. These applications will be published separately.”
 
Also, Henry Markram and his team have already connected their rat cortical column model to a simple virtual environment, and taught it to<b> balance a ball in the middle of a plate, using four virtual “muscles.” A lot of you probably already saw that in Noah Hutton’s Blue Brain Year Three film</b>.</p>
