Department of Physiology, University of Bern - With the support of the German Manfred Stärk Foundation for Brain Research, the University of Bern has been able to establish an endowed Professorship for Neuromorphic Systems. The total endowment is 3.6 million Swiss francs and serves to strengthen the successful research in Theoretical Neuroscience at the University of Bern. Neuromorphic systems and neuromorphic computing form an interdisciplinary field between neuroscience, artificial intelligence, and engineering. They have the goal of developing circuits and hardware (chips) that can map the self-organizing and self-regulating singularity of the brain. In addition to other applications, neuromorphic chips can be used as medical implants for damaged human tissue such as the retina.
