Kwabena Boahen is the principal investigator at the Brains in Silicon lab at Stanford. He writes of himself: Being a scientist at heart, I want to understand how cognition arises from neuronal properties. Being an engineer by training, I am using silicon integrated circuits to emulate the way neurons compute, linking the seemingly disparate fields of electronics and computer science with neurobiology and medicine. 计算机专业英语 My groups contributions to the field of neuromorphic engineering include a silicon retina that could be used to give the blind sight and a self-organizing chip that emulates the way the developing brain wires itself up. Our work is widely recognized, with over sixty publications, including a cover story in the May 2005 issue of Scientific American. 计算机专业英语 My current research interest is building a simulation platform that will enable the cortexs inner workings to be modeled in detail. While progress has been made linking neuronal properties to brain rhythms, the task of scaling up these models to link neuronal properties to cognition still remains. Making the supercomputer-performance required affordable is the goal of our Neurogrid project. It is at the vanguard of a profound shift in computing. 计算机专业英语 A computer that works like the brain 计算机专业英语 计算机专业英语 计算机专业英语 计算机专业英语 计算机专业英语 Hugh Herr is building the next generation of bionic limbs, robotic prosthetics inspired by natures own designs. Herr lost both legs in a climbing accident 30 years ago; now, as the head of the MIT Media Lab’s Biomechatronics group, he shows his incredible technology in a talk thats both technical and deeply personal — with the help of ballroom dancer Adrianne Haslet-Davis, who lost her left leg in the 2013 Boston Marathon bombing, and performs again for the first time on the TED stage. 计算机专业英语 The new bionics that let us run, climb and dance 计算机专业英语 * * * One of the properties of a list that makes a linked structure more inviting than a contiguous one is the need t
