Abstract
This paper introduces the open-source software project, Brain Simulator II, simplifying experimentation into various facets of AGI. The software seamlessly marries spiking neural networks with symbolic AI algorithms. It supports a large array of simple neurons (of various models) and groups of neurons collected into “Modules”, backed by custom software. 3D and 2D simulators allow a virtual entity to move about, have binocular vision and touch, and merge this information with spoken input. Information is captured in a Universal Knowledge Store module which represents information in links between nodes. Continuing development will enhance these capabilities.
