NBEL (Neuro-Biomorphic Engineering Lab) was awarded a grant from Israel’s Innovation Authority to develop the entire software ecosystem for new neuromorphic hardware to be developed by prominent Israeli companies.
NBEL was awarded a generous three-year grant from Israel’s Innovation Authority to develop the entire software ecosystem for new neuromorphic hardware to be developed by prominent Israeli companies.
This grant will foster collaboration by industries and academics aspiring to establish an Israeli neuromorphic hardware-software ecosystem.
Neuro-biomorphic engineering focuses on the development of computers and algorithms based on neural computation. It deals with a new computational paradigm with wide-ranging implications in the fields of robotics, artificial intelligence, and supercomputing. The lab is a second home for postdoctoral research fellows and graduate students in computer science, computer engineering, and machine learning, who work on various projects in the neuromorphic space – including theory, hardware, algorithms, and applications. The students in the lab, with academic backgrounds in aeronautics and aerospace engineering, electrical engineering, physics, neuroscience, and computer science, form a unique interdisciplinary research team. Recently, the lab secured a grant from the Innovation Authority as part of a consortium that brings together leading industry companies and top academic research groups, focusing on the development of the first "blue-and-white" neuromorphic computer. https://nbel-lab.com/
