Abstract
It seems how the brain develops its representations inside its closed skull throughout the lifetime, while the child incrementally learns one new task after another. By closed skull, we mean that the brain (or the Central Nervous System) inside the skull is off limit to the teachers in the external environment, except its sensory ends and the motor ends. We present Where-What Network (WWN) 6, which has realized our goal of a fully developmental network with closed skull, which means that the human programmer is not allowed to handcraft the internal representation for any concepts about extra-body concepts. We present how the developmental program (DP) of WWN-6 enables the network to learn and perform for attending and recognizing objects in complex backgrounds while the skull is closed.
