To which the answer was, in effect, "the brain isn't big enough yet to be used." The original aim of the CAM-Brain Project was to evolve behavior as complex as that of a kitten (the brain was going to control a robotic kitten, the "Robokoneko"). The functionality reported for the modules the brain was composed of was on the level of the XOR-function To date, no functionality appears to have been reported for the brain as a whole. 2 User-oriented evaluations (covered by ISO standards 9126 and 14598 on software evaluation) look at a set of requirements (available computational, financial, and other resources, acceptable processing time, maintenance cost, etc.) of the user (embedding application or person) and assess how well different technological alternatives fulfill them. Developer-oriented evaluations focus on functionality (just one component in the ISO standards) and seek to assess the quality of a system's (or component's) outputs.
