In principle it is possible to design automata to display any explicitly described behavior. The McCulloch-Pitts “neuron” is a convenient elementary component for the control mechanisms of automata. Previously described techniques permit the design of an automaton which would arbitrarily well simulate human behavior. The difficulty of producing such a design lies primarily in formulating an explicit description of the required behavior. The control mechanism of such an automaton would be of very great logical complexity. Its mode of operation probably would not resemble that of a human brain. The brain is more plausibly represented by stochastic models as proposed by Hebb. Such models can more easily be designed or understood by reason of lesser logical complexity. A method of computational investigation of the functioning of such stochastic models is described. Several extremely simple models have been investigated. One is shown to have properties suggestive of learning ability.
