Seminar

Brain Inspired Computing

Massimiliano
 Versace
Department
 of
 Cognitive
 and
 Neural
 Systems,
and Center
 of
 Excellence 
for 
Learning 
in 
Education,
 Science, and
 Technology Boston 
University

Convergent 
advances
 in 
neural 
modeling, 
neuroinformatics, 
neuromorphic engineering,
materials science,
and
 computer 
science
 will 
soon 
enable
 the 
manufacturing 
and 
study 
of 
novel 
computer 
architectures that 
will 
not 
only
 help 
overcome 
Moore's 
law
 imminent 
failure 
for 
conventional
 von 
Neumann
 architectures, but 
will 
also 
open 
the 
door 
to
 large‐scale 
neural 
modeling 
research 
and 
applications. 
This 
talk 
focuses 
on whole‐brain 
systems 
models
 scalable 
to
 biological 
levels. 
These
 models 
promise
 to
 advance 
our 
understanding of
 how 
simulated 
and robotic 
agents
 with
 whole‐brain 
systems
 learn
 to 
interact 
with
 their 
environment,
and 
to create
 innovative
 technological
 applications 
that 
will 
have
 disruptive
 impacts 
on 
general‐purpose 
computing and 
mobile
 robotics.
