Seminar
Synaptic Rewiring in Neuromorphic VLSI for Topographic Map Formation

by Mr. Simeon Bamford, Final-year doctoral candidate in Neuroinformatics, University of Edinburgh, Scotland

Date
 :  10 Jun 2008 (Tue)
Time
 :  11:00am – 12:00noon
Venue  :  Room 2504, 2/F (Lifts 25–26), HKUST

Abstract
"I will talk about topographic maps in biology, how I've modeled their development, and how I've implemented this model in VLSI. I will focus on Address-Event Representation (AER), a protocol for transmitting neural pulses, and will present a design for an AER receiver which is optimised for scalability as connection fan-out increases. I'll further discuss the rewiring of connections and will present a circuit for calculating Euclidean distance across a chip."
