WHAT IS THE SYNTHETIC CORTEX Synthetic Cortex (Scortex Laboratory) is a technology project conducting research on integrating emotional and instinctive decision-making mechanisms into large language models (LLMs). Inspired by the human brain's cerebral cortex, Scortex aims to develop advanced cognitive layers that can be integrated into any LLM model. In this context, the project's first demo, Synthetic Cortex L1, has been released through the website for a limited user testing kit, marking the completion of the initial research phase. L1 functions as an external cognitive layer capable of generating artificial emotions and making instinctive decisions. In 1943, neuroscientist Warren McCulloch and logician Walter Pitts mathematically modeled the neuron mechanism of the human brain for the first time, laying the foundation for LLM technology. Synthetic Cortex takes this legacy a step further: in addition to artificial neurons, it mathematically models the structures of hormones and neurotransmitters that give rise to human emotions and integrates them into the neural decision-making mechanism. As a result, the model bases its decisions not only on data but also on emotions and experiences granting it creative thinking and instinctive behavioral patterns. The first product of our research, L1, is currently available to a limited number of users through our website. The L1 version functions like a hat covering the brain: no matter which LLM you connect it to, optimization is performed there. However, the L2 we are developing goes further moving this structure from an external layer into direct integration with the model’s hidden and output layers, progressing toward becoming the brain itself.
