public class SensoryNeuroid

extends SRMNeuroid

Neuroid that is not contained in a SensoryArea and which does not listen to its inputs. It is excited by sensory inputs, by call to its fire() method. It is connected to a replicated neuroids in a destination area. It has a SensoryConcept associated with it.

Shouldn't be a SRMNeuroid, should have a SRMMode. Should have special mode with only state.

                      String conceptName)

Create neuroid and associate a new SensoryConcept with it. Connects arbitrarily to a number of neuroids at the destination area.

Parameters:

sensoryArea - Where to put this neuroid.

conceptName - Name.

destArea - the destination area to project axons.
