Neuroscience and Information Technology

This lecture explores the symbiotic relationship between neuroscience and information technology, emphasizing multidisciplinary research and the need for new computational paradigms. The instructor discusses the challenges posed by the limitations of Moore's Law, the emergence of new technologies like neural dust for brain-machine interfaces, and the potential of hyperdimensional representations for efficient computing. By drawing inspiration from the brain's computational processes, the lecture delves into the concept of in-memory computing and the use of non-volatile memory technologies for building next-generation processors. The goal is to pave the way for innovative applications that can revolutionize various fields and impact society as a whole.
