What could computers do if they could see?

The last great frontier of the information age is to have computers interacting directly with the real world. Although great progress has been made, enabling advances such as computer-controlled manufacturing and autonomous vacuum cleaners, the hardest problems have yet to be solved.

Advances in neuroscience over the past decade have elucidated the mechanisms by which humans and other animals see and recognize objects, people, and context. eCortex(tm) is building on these scientific advances by adapting and commercializing technology that is used to model brain processes in neuroscience research.

The eCortex technology is based on hard neuroscience research and on modeling technology developed over fifteen years in the laboratory. Our core technology works today. If you have a computer vision application where trainable, general purpose object recognition could open up new opportunities or solve problems for your customers, see our Partners page for more information.

eCortex Awarded $347,000 IARPA Research Contract

April 30, 2010  CU licensee and POCi recipient eCortex, Inc. was awarded a one-year contract to use its Leabra/Emergent-based brain models to explore the effect of embodying a learning model in a three-dimensional virtual environment. The title of the project is "Embodied Common Sense in Vision and Language," and it is sponsored by IARPA (Intelligence Advanced Research Projects Agency) and the U.S. Army Research Office.  This summary does not necessarily reflect the position or the policy of the Government, and no official endorsement should be inferred.
