Knowledge Engineering Consulting has been involved for decades in developing research projects focused on brain-inspired architectures and intersecting with multiple commercial applications. 

​​​​In early 2025 KEC was honoured to have been approached by UK Startup Conscium, the world's first commercial research organisation investigating the implications of building Machine Consciousness the development of a brain-inspired explainable, self-adaptive AI framework that enables conscious perception of stimuli.

This has been released as eXCube and is a continuous commercial and research engagement

Projects

  • Group of clear glass cubes with purple and pink hues, and two white spheres, arranged in a step-like formation on a plain white background.

    NeuCube

    Brain-inspired spiking neural network (SNN) architecture for spatio-temporal data and brain-inspired AI 

  • An abstract digital art piece composed of colorful, three-dimensional cubes arranged in a grid pattern. The cubes display a range of pastel and muted colors, with some showing gradient shading and illuminated edges.

    NeuCom

    A self-programmable, learning and reasoning computer environment based on connectionist (Neurocomputing) modules

  • Silhouette of a person's profile against a glowing blue circle background.

    Personalised Modelling

    A personalised modelling framework aimed at providing accurate diagnosis or prognosis of particular event for a given person (eg cancer, heart disease)

  • Machine Awareness eXCube

    Machine Awareness eXCube

    A brain-inspired explainable, self-adaptive AI framework that enables conscious perception of stimuli as part of research into Machine Consciousness
