Electrical engineering alumnus Dharmendra Modha is working on a brain-inspired computer architecture at IBM. It's part of the SyNAPSE project.
CNET covered the most recent update on this project which is "a new software ecosystem was built to program silicon chips whose architecture is directly inspired by the brain's size, function, and minimal use of power."
Keep up with Modha's research on his blog "Dharmendra S Modha's Cognitive Computing Blog".
