After 17 years in research, finally we published the first two papers in IEEE Southeastcon, Orlando, USA, March 15-18, 2012. See http://www.southeastcon2012.org/.
If you are interested to know what is GPRAM in brief, (see here Introduction to GPRAM), a philosophic view, please find part 1 and part 2 of our papers.
You can also find an overview on Youtube (part 1, part 2, part 3), for some countries, where Youtube has been blocked, you can get these video here (part1, part2, part3).
You can visit our team member and their current works (GPRAMteam).
The near term goal is to build a robot-like system which can display group behaviors similar to some small animals. Once we reach this stage, then this system can be used as a test dummy to develop, evaluate, and improve our research tools to study this type of GPRAM system.

To those who DO NOT believe this work will lead to something interesting, the only thing I want to say is to do the following practice for 6 to 12 months, you may change your mind.
Practice:
(1) Get a notebook.
(2) Every day write down your thoughts of human brain (What is it doing? Why? How? Etc)
(3) Every day review your previous thoughts, try to confirm and deny them, and write down why.
After you have done this practice for 6-12 months, then come back this website and take another look.
To those who DO
believe this work will lead to something
interesting, the only thing I want to say is to lower your expectation, since
it is a tiny seed which will grow between two gigantic achievements (God made
human brain and man-made computer).
