Bio-Inspired Information Pathways: From Neuroscience to Neurotronics (Springer Series on Bio- and Neurosystems, 16, Band 16)

This open access book offers a timely and comprehensive review of the field of neurotronics. Gathering cutting-edge contributions from neuroscientists biologists psychologists as well as physicists microelectronics engineers and information scientists it gives extensive information on fundamental information pathways in selected nervous systems. It also highlights their relevance as building blocks for novel computing architectures such as bio-inspired electronic devices neuromorphic architectures memristive devices adaptive sensors and emergent pulsed-coupled oscillatory networks. A ll in all this book offers a unique bridge between fundamental research in neuroscience neural information processing nonlinear dynamics and self-organization and advanced practical applications concerning the fabrication of hardware-oriented computing.
