“Computation in biological neural circuits arises from the interplay of nonlinear temporal responses and spatially distributed dynamic network interactions. Replicating this richness in hardware has ...

Scientists have taken a major step toward mimicking nature’s tiniest gateways by creating ultra-small pores that rival the dimensions of biological ion channels—just a few atoms wide. The breakthrough ...

Something to look forward to: Robots are beginning to see and respond in real time. A new study published in Nature Communications by researchers at Beihang University in China describes a vision ...

Mark Beeson does not work for, consult, own shares in or receive funding from any company or organization that would benefit from this article, and has disclosed no relevant affiliations beyond their ...

Neuromorphic computers may look like regular computers from the outside but the circuitry is entirely different.Sandia National Laboratories The world’s first neuromorphic supercomputer is moving ...

The takeaway: Researchers in China have developed an artificial skin that allows robots to sense pressure and respond in ways similar to living tissue, helping them avoid damage. The flexible ...

Researchers in China have built a neuromorphic robotic electronic skin that allows humanoid robots to sense touch, detect injury, and respond to harmful contact with rapid, reflex-like movements ...

The nervous system does an astonishing job of tracking sensory information, and does so using signals that would drive many computer scientists insane: a noisy stream of activity spikes that may be ...

Optical and electrical signals act as presynapses and modulatory synapses, respectively. The modulatory synapse modulates the built-in electric field by electrostatically modulating the surface ...

The ability to analyze the brain's neural connectivity is emerging as a key foundation for brain-computer interface (BCI) technologies, such as controlling artificial limbs and enhancing human ...

Modern artificial intelligence systems, from robotic surgery to high-frequency trading, rely on processing streams of raw data in real time. Extracting important features quickly is critical, but ...
