Interfacing a parallel simulation of a neuronal network to robotic hardware using MUSIC, with application to real-time figure-ground segregation

world images in real-time from the robot. Moreover, it enables the robot to be controlled by the neuronal network. The neuronal-network simulation implements a model of figure-ground segregation based on neuronal activity in the Macaque visual cortex [3]. I. A special purpose TCP/IP based communication interface has been implemented in C++ as an extendible class library. The architecture of the interface is shown in Figure 1. The client end of the interface is specifically designed to meet the requirements for operating on the Blue Gene /L, as well as being MUSIC-aware. The server
