The current version of BrainCog contains at least 16 functional spiking neural network algorithms (including but not limited to perception and learning, decision making, knowledge representation and reasoning, motor control, social cognition, etc.) built based on BrainCog infrastructures, and BrainCog also provide brain simulations to drosophila, rodent, monkey, and human brains at multiple scales based on spiking neural networks.
