Some interesting research coming out of IBM… Cognitive computing offers the promise of systems that can integrate and analyze vast amounts of data from many sources in the blink of an eye. By seeking inspiration from the structure, dynamics, function, and behavior of the brain, the IBM-led cognitive computing research team aims to break the conventional programmable machine paradigm. Ultimately, the team hopes to rival the brain’s low power consumption and small size by using nanoscale devices for synapses and neurons. This technology stands to bring about entirely new computing architectures and programming paradigms. See Details HERE
