Currently, Dr. Dharmendra Modha and his team are focusing on demonstrating nanoscale, low power synapse-like devices; uncovering the functional microcircuits of the brain; developing analog and asynchronous circuits; scaling supercomputing simulations; studying white matter architecture of the brain and developing virtual environments.
The end goal is to create ubiquitously deployed computers imbued with new intelligence that can integrate information from a variety of sensors and sources, deal with ambiguity, respond in a context-dependent way, learn over time and carry out pattern recognition to solve difficult problems based on perception, action and cognition in complex, real-world environments. The team hopes to achieve this within the next decade and believes it will lead to novel cognitive systems, computing architectures, programming paradigms and numerous practical applications such as: understanding and mining live, streaming data from sensor networks and audio/video feeds, macro- and micro-economic data analysis and trading in a financial setting, and, even gaming. Cognitive computing has potential to bring about dramatic improvements in the productivity and security of society.

How To Get Congress To Give You $240 Billion
view programIn this program, IEEE-USA's Senior Legislative Representative for Grassroots Activities, Russ Harrison, discusses the intersection between public policy and engineering. In 2009, Congress focused on engineers and technology more than at any other point during the past 50 years, perhaps ever. Your elected officials have been debating major changes to US policy in fields that employ or affect IEEE members including energy, space, education, intellectual property law, immigration, and broadband. This attention gives us, as professionals, opportunities, but also poses risks. Learn what IEEE-USA is doing in Washington to try to make sure Congress gets it right. And learn some simple things that you can do to influence your own elected officials.
The Truth About the JFK Assassination. Signal Processing Tells The Story.
view programPresident John F Kennedy was assassinated in Dallas in November of 1963. Although an investigation soon concluded that only one gunman, Lee Harvey Oswald, shot at President Kennedy, there is a community of skeptics that exist to this day who think that there was another gunman. Thirteen years later, the US Congress Select Committee on Assassinations reopened an investigation of the President's assassination. The Committee learned about some recordings of the Dallas Police radio traffic, and they speculated that somewhere on these recordings there might be the sounds of gunfire, perhaps even allowing investigators to determine how many shots had been fired. In 1982, the investigation was reopened yet again. Mr. Charles Rader, an IEEE member, served on the Committee on Ballistic Acoustics. Our program is based on the science of "Signal Processing" and discusses the findings of this committee.
