The ultimate goal of the DARPA SyNAPSE project is to build brain-like cognitive computing chips that scale to human cortex by moving beyond the von Neumann architecture and become the brains behind IBM’s Smarter Planet vision. The project leverages nanotechnology, supercomputing, and neuroscience and is a collaboration of four universities (Cornell, Columbia, Wisconsin-Madison, and UC Merced) and five IBM sites (Almaden, Yorktown, EFK, BTV, and IRL). Dr. Dharmendra S. Modha is founding manager of the Cognitive Computing group at IBM’s Almaden Research Center. Currently, he is the Principal Investigator for DARPA SyNAPSE team of IBM Research – Almaden, IBM Research – Watson, University of Wisconsin-Madison, Cornell University, Columbia University, and University of California at Merced.

9/28/11 — One Cell One Light with Dr. Hildegarde Staninger Guest: Dr. Patrick M. Boucher pmboucher.com In this modern age, we are experiencing the greatest technological growth in human history. Since the invention of the micro-chip, computers have become a inescapable and necessary part of our daily lives. From entertainment to health care to communication, we are constantly amazed at the technological advancements of modern times. One of the most controversial of these advancements is that of nanotechnology; the development of materials, devices, or other structures possessing at least one dimension sized from 1 to 100 nanometres, a unit measure that is most commonly used on an atomic level, rendering anything of that scale impossible to see without a microscope. While there are few practical applications of nanotechnology currently in use (scratch-resistant and stain-resistant clothing and material coatings are perhaps the most common), the theoretical applications are nearly endless, as this technology is still being studied and developed. Nanotechnology could be developed to improve medical drugs, allowing them to be delivered to specific cells and reduce side effects; to improve energy efficiency, such as developing a spray-on coating that can act as a solar conductor; tocreating lighter and stronger materials for uses as varied as aircraft construction to athletic shoes. As with any technology in its infancy, there is a debate about the ethical implications of its …
