Organic neuromorphic electronics

【Abstract】

Neuromorphic engineering takes inspiration from the efficiency of the brain and focusses on how to utilise its functionality in hardware. Organic electronic materials have shown promising solutions for the manipulation and the processing of biological signals, with applications ranging from bioinformatics to brain-computer-interfaces and smart robotics.

This talk describes state-of-the-art organic neuromorphic devices and provides an overview of the current challenges in the field and attempts to address them. I demonstrate two device concepts based on novel organic mixed-ionic electronic materials and show how we can use these devices in trainable biosensors and smart autonomous robotics. I will present a novel implementation of backpropagation with gradient descent directly in hardware.

Next to that, organic electronic materials have the potential to operate at the interface with biology. This can pave the way for novel architectures with bio-inspired features, offering promising solutions for the manipulation and the processing of biological signals and potential applications ranging from brain-computer-interfaces to bioinformatics and neurotransmitter-mediated adaptive sensing. I will highlight our recent efforts for such hybrid biological memory devices and artificial neurons.

神经形态工程从大脑的效率中获得灵感，并专注于如何在硬件中利用其功能。有机电子材料在操纵和处理生物信号方面显示了有前途的解决方案，应用范围从生物信息学到脑机接口和智能机器人。

本演讲描述了最先进的有机神经形态设备，提供了当前在该领域的挑战的概述，并试图解决它们。Yoeri van de Burgt演示基于新型有机混合离子电子材料的两个设备概念，并展示了如何在可训练的生物传感器和智能自主机器人中使用这些设备。Yoeri将提出一种新的实现的反向传播与梯度下降直接在硬件上。

此外，有机电子材料也有在与生物学的界面上运行的潜力。这可以为具有生物灵感特征的新架构铺平道路，为生物信号的操纵和处理提供了有前途的解决方案，以及从脑-计算机接口到生物信息学和神经递质介导的自适应传感的潜在应用。Yoeri将强调最近在这种混合生物记忆设备和人工神经元方面的努力。
