  William Grey Walter - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Walter was born in Kansas City, Missouri, in 1910.
Walter produced his own versions of Berger's machine with improved capabilities which allowed it to detect a variety of brain wave types ranging from the high speed alpha waves to the slow delta waves observed during sleep.
Walter stressed the importance of using purely analogue electronics to simulate brain processes at a time when his contemporaries such as Alan Turing and John Von Neumann were all turning towards a view of mental processes in terms of digital computation.

 Today in Technology History - May 6
Walter was born in Missouri in 1910, but he grew up in England and studied at Cambridge.
Walter's research on the brain led him to work on artificial intelligence, in the form of small, primitive robots with wheels that could scoot around on the floor, seeking out light sources and driving around any obstacles they bumped into.
Walter thought his robots might have "some degree of self-awareness." Even though the robots were simple and they could respond to only a few stimuli, their behavior was comparable to that of many animals.

Grey Walter was born in Kansas City, Missouri, in 1910.
He discovered theta and delta waves in the electroencephalogram (the brain waves associated with light and deep sleep, respectively), and developed the first EEG brain topography machine, based on an array of spiral-scan CRTs connected to high-gain amplifiers.
In the late 1940's Dr Grey Walter carried out pioneering research on mobile autonomous robots at the Burden Neurological Institute as part of his quest to model brain function.

Grey Walter Neuroscience Biography autonomous robots#electroencephalography#goal-seeking#nonlinear brain dynamics#scanning Walter J. Freeman University of California at Berkeley, USA An autonomous robot embodies the principles of goal-seeking and scanning that characterize animal behavior.
Walter used his skills in analog electronics to conceive a device built by engineers that displayed the frequency content in an EEG trace, even as the trace was displayed with an ink-writing oscillograph, a pen whose fluctuations left a trace on moving paper that became the mainstay of electroencephalographers.
Walter proposed that the alpha represented 'scanning' by the brain in search of local centers of activity when none was present, and that it stopped when a 'target' was found in the cortex.

The tortoises were capable of avoiding obstacles, moving toward a light source (phototaxis), and parking in a hutch to recharge their batteries.
Grey Walter had designed these robots to investigate how a "living brain" manages to exhibit flexible control, learning, and adaptivity vis-à-vis the environment.
All of this was similar to Grey Walter's experiment and, indeed, we witnessed many of the same behaviors.
