Bio Inspired Technologies For The Hardware Of Adaptive Systems PDF Download

The human brain, the ultimate intelligent processor, can handle ambiguous and uncertain information adequately. The implementation of such a human-brain architecture and function is called OC brainwareOCO. Brainware is a candidate for the new tool that will realize a human-friendly computer society. As one of the LSI implementations of brainware, a OC bio-inspiredOCO hardware system is discussed in this book. Consisting of eight enriched versions of papers selected from IIZUKA ''98, this volume provides wide coverage, from neuronal function devices to vision systems, chaotic systems, and also an effective design methodology of hierarchical large-scale neural systems inspired by neuroscience. It can serve as a reference for graduate students and researchers working in the field of brainware. It is also a source of inspiration for research towards the realization of a silicon brain.
