CHAPTER 17The Interface Between Humans and Computers
This chapter investigates the human-computer interface, which has the potential to expand human memory and brain capacity. Modern artificial intelligence (AI) systems are powered by neural networks. AI system design and advancements are mostly inspired by the brain, which helps us comprehend the brain and its functioning. Neuromorphic computing, a technology that enables human-computer contact through AI, has the potential to enhance human brain functions, memories, and talents.
In the area of brain-computer interface, science has already made considerable progress. Brain mapping and neuromorphic chips are examples of this. Emerging assistive technology with implantable sensors that capture brain electrical signals and use them to power external devices is what gives rise to brain-computer interfaces.
Neuromorphic chips are already being produced by large tech companies. Using 64 of its Loihi neuromorphic chips, Intel created Pohoiki Beach, an 8 million synapse system with 8 million neurons (which it expects to reach 100 million neurons in the near future). Researchers are currently using Loihi chips, for example at the Telluride Neuromorphic Cognition Engineering Workshop, to construct powered prosthetic limbs and artificial skin.
TrueNorth, an IBM neuromorphic system, was introduced in 2014 and has 64 million neurons and 16 billion synapses as of this writing. IBM recently announced a collaboration with the US Air Force ...
