Rodney Douglas - Institute of Neuroinformatics ETH Zurich

How far are we on the way to brain-like computing?

Rodney Douglas is head of the Institute of Neuroinformatics (INI) at the Federal Institute of Technology in Zurich, one of the leading European research centres on neuroinformatics. Neuroinformatics investigates the technology aspect of brains in order to understand how it actually computes. The INI team has various promising research projects running, one is the Neuromorphic VLSI vision sensors, also called "silicon retina". In this interview with Professor Douglas we talk about the brain as a self-programming organ, brain-like computing and why understanding phenomenons like human motivation or sense of fulfilment is key to his work.
