A smart chip based on the human brain

Current computer systems are very good at performing exact calculations. But as we are using more and more AI-based applications, we also need more efficient systems that are able to process data in real time with the same precision. TU/e researcher Eveline van Doremaele is working on a new generation of computers, modeled after the human brain. What's more, she used organic materials for the unique chip she developed with neuromorphic computing, which means it is able to interact with our bodies. She defended her thesis on May 25.
