IISc Develops Human Brain-Inspired Computing Platform

Key Points

• 1IISc researchers have developed an analogous computing platform within a molecular film that mimics human brain-like functioning.
• 2The 'brain on the chip' design can perform functions like processing and data storage, similar to the human brain.
• 3The platform offers 16,500 conductance states, unlike existing digital platforms that operate on binary states.
• 4The platform allows for easy deployment of AI-based tasks on personal electronic gadgets.
• 5The use of molecular films allows researchers to track free ionic movements, widening the memory pathways.
• 6The new platform could unlock several milestones in neuromorphic computing, like edge training and deployment of advanced AI models.
