# Mind Field S3 E3 - The Stilwell Brain

This repo contains the neural model used in the Stilwell Brain episode of Mind Field.

I'm the scientist in the episode. This repo contains the model we ended up using (there were many 

versions as the number of participants kept changing).  The biggest challenge was making it simple

enough that the people-neurons didn't mess it up by being too smart.  It's a binary thresholded 

network with all unity weights.

Here's the trailer for the episode: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rA5qnZUXcqo&vl=en

Note that this version is super stripped down, fails in all kinds of obvious ways, and is here 

just so you know what we ended up using.  If you want to see something more impressive, check

out Spaun https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=P_WRCyNQ9KY  (This is version 1.0. Version 2.0 is finished

and will be published soon. It has 6.6 million neurons.)
