Cognitive computing (CC) is a new type of computing with the goal of more accurate models of how the human brain/mind senses, reasons, and responds to stimulus. CC applications link data analysis and adaptive page displays (AUI) to adjust content for a particular type of audience. As such, CC hardware and applications strive to be more affective and more influential by design.

Like a human, a cognitive computing application learns by experience and/or instruction. The CC application learns and remembers how to adapt its content displays, by situation, to influence behavior. This means a CC application must have intent, memory, foreknowledge and cognitive reasoning for a domain of varible situations. These 'cognitive' functions are in addition to the more fixed page displays now found in most paging applications.

ELIZA (http://www-ai.ijs.si/eliza/eliza.html) is a simulation of the human brain. Does it count? But, yeah, there could be some ethics concerns at some point way down the road. They say they plan to have a simulated cat cortex in a decade. IBM's involvement is only a 9 month stint (http://machineslikeus.com/news/ibms-global-brain) in areas including synaptronics, material science, neuromorphic circuitry, supercomputing simulations and virtual environments. Initial research will focus on demonstrating nanoscale, low power synapse-like devices and on uncovering the functional microcircuits of the brain. The long-term mission of C2S2 is to demonstrate low-power, compact cognitive computers that approach mammalian-scale intelligence. I've never quite been able to understand it, reasonably speaking.Are you familiar with Conway's Game of Life? That's a cellular automaton. Essentially you have a grid, and each square of the grid has a set of rules dictating how it is to behave. In Conway's Life, each square will "turn on" if it detects two adjacent squares are on. Otherwise it turns off.
