Lessons from α Dragon Fly's Brain: Evolution Built a Small, Fast, Efficient Neural Network in a Dragonfly. Why Not Copy It for Missile Defense?
- Sandia National Lab. (SNL-NM), Albuquerque, NM (United States)
In each of our brains, 86 billion neurons work in parallel, processing inputs from senses and memories to produce the many feats of human cognition. The brains of other creatures are less broadly capable, but those animals often exhibit innate aptitudes for particular tasks, abilities honed by millions of years of evolution.
