The positronic brain was an extremely sophisticated computation device capable of artificial sentience, created by Dr. Noonien Soong, based on an idea from author Isaac Asimov. It was this unit that enabled Soong's Soong-type androids to achieve true sentience. (TNG: " Datalore ")

Oct 15, 2023 · Lt. Commander Data, created by Dr. Noonian Soong, had a unique positronic brain that made him incredibly advanced and human-like. Data, despite his advantages, yearned to be human and worked to learn about humanity and experience emotions.

Dec 5, 2014 · Voyager's computer was capable of 575 trillion calculations per NANOSECOND (or the equivalent of 575,000,000,000 petaflops per seccond), compared with Commander Data's rated processor speed of 60 petaflops per second and the estimated Human brain comparison of 2.2 billion megaflops per second.

His positronic brain allows him impressive computational capabilities. He experienced ongoing difficulties during the early years of his life with understanding various aspects of human behavior [11] and was unable to feel emotion or understand certain human idiosyncrasies, inspiring him to strive for his own humanity.

Dec 20, 2016 · Data's positronic brain presumably contains both a positronic net and some additional components, e.g., power supply, shielding, and so on. (Under most circumstances, there's no reason to draw a distinction, so the phrases can be used interchangeably.)

A positronic brain was a highly advanced computational technology found in Soong-type androids, most famously in Data. (TNG episode: "Datalore") A positronic brain contained a neural net. The positronic brain required a lot of artificial synapse jumping. …

A positronic brain is an advanced computer or computer-like device, operating like the humanoid brain, with the ability to possibly encourage artificial sentience. Dr. Noonien Soong was the first known human to create this device and used it on several …

Oct 27, 2018 · Possibly, but the real reason was they lifted the idea from author Issac Asimov's fictional books about robotics. Most of his advanced IA androids had a positrontic brain. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Positronic_brain

The positronic brain is an extremely sophisticated computation device capable of artificial sentience, created by Dr. Noonien Soong. This device consists of an artificial neural network, designed to imitate the humanoid brain.

Data was based on a sophisticated positronic brain developed by Soong, from concepts first postulated in the 20th century by Dr. Isaac Asimov. (“Datalore” [TNG]).
