Prof. Jason Eshraghian Presents Invited Talk at FOSSi Latch-Up 2023 (Santa Barbara, CA, USA)

Jason Eshraghian gave an invited talk at the 2023 Free and Open Source Silicon (FOSSi) Latch-Up Conference “Open Source Brain-Inspired Neuromorphic Software and Hardware” at UC Santa Barbara, CA, USA.

The presentation session will give an overview for how open source tooling has been used to propose and implement neuromorphic solutions and applications. The presentation will highlight the Tiny Neuromorphic Tape-out project that will take place at the Telluride Neuromorphic Cognition and Engineering Workshop.

IEEE ECCTD 2020 Keynote Address: CMOS-Memristor Nanoelectronics for Neuromorphic Computing

Professor Sung-Mo Kang and Jason Eshraghian delivered the keynote address for the IEEE European Conference on Circuit Theory and Design titled “CMOS-Memristor Nanoelectronics for Neuromorphic Computing”.
The talk takes a journey from the early stages of CMOS design to current memristor nanoelectronics with critical views for device threading, interconnect and technology for achieving multidimensional design goals: reliability, throughput performance, energy consumption and manufacturing costs.

These principles are applied to neuromorphic systems for brain-inspired computation. The powerful capabilities of these neuromorphic processors can be applied to a plethora of real-world challenges, from data-driven healthcare, to neurostimulation, and in AI-generated artwork, as we make a profound shift away from the sequential processing of Von Neumann machines towards parallel, interconnected neural-inspired structures.

Editorial in Nature Machine Intelligence

One neural network is good for recognising patterns, but two are great for creating them. Nature Machine Intelligence did a neat write-up about our legal research on determining who owns artificially generated patterns, images, videos, and artwork.
