Neuromorphic processors: event-based VLSI models of cortical circuits for brain-inspired computation (neuroP)

Start date: Mar 1, 2011, End date: Feb 28, 2017,

"Brains are remarkable computing devices which clearly outperform conventional architectures in real-world tasks. Computational neuroscience has made tremendous progress in uncovering the key principles by which neural systems carry out computation, and ICTs have advanced to a point where it is possible to integrate almost as many transistors in a VLSI system as neurons in a brain. Yet, we are sti ...

Real neurons-nanoelectronics Architecture with Memristive Plasticity (RAMP)

Start date: Nov 1, 2013, End date: Oct 31, 2016,

Information processing in classical 'von Neumann' architectures is less efficient compared to biological counterparts when dealing with ill-posed problems and noisy data. The reason is that the biological brain is configured differently and the key is its evolving structure, where connectivity elements between individual neurons, the synapses, undergo 'birth' and 'death' as well as strengthening ...

Convergence Science Network of Biomimetics and NeuroTechnology (CSNII)

Start date: Mar 1, 2013, End date: Feb 29, 2016,

Despite tremendous progress in neuroscience, ICT and related fields we are still unable to build perceptive, emotive and cognitive systems that are comparable with even simple insect brains with respect to function, energy sufficiency or computational power. One promising approach to answer this challenge is to translate principles underlying the abilities of natural systems into new technologies. ...

Towards new Brain-Machine Interfaces: state-dependent information coding (SI-CODE)

Start date: Mar 1, 2012, End date: Aug 31, 2015,

Brain Machine Interfaces (BMIs) are devices mediating communication between a brain and the external world, and hold the potential for a) restoring motor or sensory functions to people who lost them due to illness or injury, and b) understanding neural information processing through controlled interactions between neurons and external devices. However, the success of BMIs is hampered by the proble ...

The Convergent Science Network for biohybrid and biomimetic systems (CSN)

Start date: Mar 1, 2010, End date: Feb 28, 2013,

The Convergent Science Network (CSN) will coordinate and facilitate the development and deployment of multidisciplinary methods, concepts and technologies to advance the understanding and engineering of biomimetic and hybrid biological and artificial systems. The concrete outcome will be the establishment of an independent 'European Association for Biomimetic and Biohybrid Research'. This associat ...

Evolving Probabilistic Spiking Neural Networks for Spatio-Temporal Pattern Recognition (EvoSpike)

Start date: Jun 1, 2011, End date: May 31, 2012,

Spiking neural networks (SNN), considered the third generation of neural networks, are a promising paradigm for the creation of new intelligent ICT and for the study of the brain. This new generation computational models and systems are potentially capable of modelling complex information processes due to their ability to represent and integrate different information dimensions, such as time, spac ...

acoustic SCene ANalysis for Detecting Living Entities (SCANDLE)

Start date: Mar 2, 2009, End date: Mar 1, 2012,

Description An acoustic system which can recognise human or animal movement.Living beings constantly give sonic clues about their presence as they move, breathe and interact with the world around them. Sounds also bounce off other objects in the environment; a source of further contextual information. In SCANDLE we propose to develop a co ...
