Photonic Neural Network Can Store, Process Information Similarly to Human Brain
MÜNSTER, Germany, May 13, 2019 — A new microchip contains a network of artificial neurons that works with light and can imitate the behavior of the human brain’s neurons and synapses. A research team from the University of Münster, University of Oxford, and University of Exeter demonstrated that the optical neurosynaptic network was able to learn information and use it as a basis for computing and recognizing patterns, similar to the way a human brain works. Because the system functions solely with light, it can process data...
