There are 92 elements in the periodic table (118 if you want to include the artificial ones) and they can be combines in gazillions of ways, not just in terms of placing two or more different atoms together, also by placing them in different 3D structures. Each of the resulting …
Read More »Mimicking the brain to support AI: neuromorphic neural networks
For several decades discussion has raged on the possibility to create intelligence by “duplicating” the brain. Proponents of this possibility assert that the connectivity structure of the brain results in an emergence of intelligence, hence if we were able to “copy” this connectivity we could create an “intelligent” machine. Out …

“Neuristors” are “transistors” that mimic the computational capability of neurones (our as well as neurones of any other animal, they are not that much different!). So far neuromorphic computing systems requires several transistors to perform Boolean operations (AND, OR, XOR, XNOR…) whilst a single neurone can do that. Having more …

One of the problem with present AI is that we have (basically) stopped to create “intelligent” algorithms and took the approach of creating algorithms that by self-learning can get smarter and smarter. Problem is, this self-learning needs tons of data and it looks like we are approaching a sort of …

Area 7 – Machine Swarms Artificial intelligence and advances in processing, including neuromorphic computing, are opening the door to machine awareness. Machines that understand what is going on, why it is happening and what is the purpose. The question whether a machine that is aware is also perceiving itself as …

Researchers at NIST have built an artificial synapses mimicking the ones operating in the brain (ours and the ones of any other animal): it can learn (i.e. its responses to stimuli depends on previous stimuli) like our synapses but it has not been created to become a component in a …

Intel has announced a new chip “Loihi”, a first of its kind, resulting from several years of research carried out in cooperation with Caltech, that can learn and evolve. It is based on a neuromorphic architecture, that is it mimics the brain and as the brain it can change its …

Brain Computer Interfaces Our brain, as all brains, processes data arriving from sensors spread out in the brain’s owner body. The processing may result in the activation of parts of the body (like muscles to talk or to flee) or may just result in a “change of state” of the …
