Making electronic chips that mimic the way the brain works

According to the results of a study published in the US scientific journal Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences (PNAS) on July 23, Swiss scientists have for the first time created a chip that simulates the way the human brain processes information.

Scientists at the University of Zurich and colleagues in Germany and the US have created an electronic device that can be compared to the human brain in terms of size, information processing speed and energy consumption.

Like the human brain, this neuromorphic chip is capable of reacting and processing information quickly.

Using neural chips such as artificial neurons, scientists have created networks that can perform tasks that require memory, analysis and quick decision-making, said Giacomo Indiveri, a professor of neuroinformatics at the University of Zurich, a member of the research team. This is a new step forward in the construction of electronic devices.

In the future, this technology will become a useful tool, allowing robots to automatically navigate the environment and be able to survive without human control, said Mr. Indiveri.

This technology could help computers function normally when parts fail, just as the human brain continues to work nonstop, even though millions of neurons are lost every day.

Besides, this technology will also help smartphones become smarter./.
