The Human Brain Project. Neuromorphic Computing Platform. The Neuromorphic Computing Platform will build on capabilities developed in the European FACETS and BrainScaleS projects and in the UK SpiNNaker Project. The current version of the Neuromorphic Physical Model (NM-PM) incorporates 50*106 plastic synapses and 200,000 biologically realistic neuron models on a single 8-inch silicon wafer in 180nm process technology. The system does not execute pre-programmed code but evolves according to the physical properties of the electronic devices.
FACETS has also pioneered a network description language (PyNN) that provides platform independent access to software simulators and neuromorphic systems and will be used throughout HBP. BrainScales – a follow-up project – is pioneering the use of the technology to replicate behaviour and learning over periods of up to one year while simultaneously emulating the millisecond-scale dynamics of the system. The Neuromorphic many-core system (NM-MC) will use the approach pioneered by the UK SpiNNaker group. Brains in Silicon. Welcome to Brains in Silicon. Learn about the lab, get to know the brains that work here, and find out about new projects that you could join.
We have crafted two complementary objectives: To use existing knowledge of brain function in designing an affordable supercomputer—one that can itself serve as a tool to investigate brain function—feeding back and contributing to a fundamental, biological understanding of how the brain works. We model brains using an approach far more efficient than software simulation: We emulate the flow of ions directly with the flow of electrons—don't worry, on the outside it looks just like software.
Welcome and enjoy your time here! The Brian spiking neural network simulator. ChipGen Downloads. ChipGen is a silicon compiler, written in-house, that facilitates building neuromorphic systems. Using it, you can compile a chip in minutes, starting with the layout of your neuromorphic circuit. This tool, implemented with Tanner Inc's L-Comp macros, arrays your layout, places transceiver circuitry around it (to multiplex or demultiplex spikes), and generates the pad-frame. You can download it here.
To learn more about designing neuromorphic chips, check out About our Work. You use ChipGen by giving it a metapixel to tile to create a silicon-neuron array. Silicon neurons, organized in rows and columns, are connected together using address-events (AER): Each silicon neuron is assigned an address that is encoded and communicated to other arrays when it spikes. In its present incarnation, ChipGen uses word-serial address-events: The transmitter encodes all of a row's spikes in a single burst—the row's address followed by a column address for each spike.

Jean-Marie Bussat. My thesis work was on integrated circuits design, applied to instruments for high-energy physics experiments. I developed an autoranging circuit for a detector that measures the energy of sub-atomic particles. This circuit was developed for the ATLAS experiment, installed at CERN, which sought to discover the Higgs boson, a particle that could explain why matter has mass. Preparing my PhD also gave me the opportunity to teach a digital electronics class in the networking department of the Technical Institute of the University of Annecy. For two years, I was in charge of 50 students and designed and taught the lectures as well as the labs.
After my PhD, I continued working in high-energy physics at Princeton University, on another Higgs boson experiment (CMS). I then worked for six years at the Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory. I moved to Stanford University in September 2007. Research Interests Ongoing Projects Links Personal home page at Stanford. Publications. Jean Marie Bussat Family Tree. Methods. This page describes how we design and test neuromorphic chips, starting with analysis of neurobiological data, then development of a neuron model, followed by layout of a multi-neuron chip for fabrication, and finally chip testing.
Whether modeling axon migration, cochlear filtering, or thalamic nuclei, careful interpretation of neurobiological data is imperative. In each of these cases, the data is acquired using different experimental techniques—time-lapsed flourescence microscopy, laser interferometry, or the patch clamp—each with its own idiosyncrasies. It is important to interpret the fine details of individual experiments carefully, weighing both supporting and contradictory evidence, which seem to exist for every assertion made in biology.
We develop this skill via neuroscience coursework, rotations in neurobiology labs, and critical reading of the literature.
