Journal ArticleDOI
Convolutional networks for fast, energy-efficient neuromorphic computing
Steven K. Esser,Paul A. Merolla,John V. Arthur,Andrew S. Cassidy,Rathinakumar Appuswamy,Alexander Andreopoulos,David Berg,Jeffrey L. McKinstry,Timothy Melano,R Davis,Carmelo di Nolfo,Pallab Datta,Arnon Amir,Brian Taba,Myron D. Flickner,Dharmendra S. Modha +15 more
TL;DR: This approach allows the algorithmic power of deep learning to be merged with the efficiency of neuromorphic processors, bringing the promise of embedded, intelligent, brain-inspired computing one step closer.
Proceedings ArticleDOI
A Low Power, Fully Event-Based Gesture Recognition System
Arnon Amir,Brian Taba,David Berg,Timothy Melano,Jeffrey L. McKinstry,Carmelo di Nolfo,Tapan K. Nayak,Alexander Andreopoulos,Guillaume Garreau,Marcela Mendoza,Jeff Kusnitz,Michael DeBole,Steve K. Esser,Tobi Delbruck,Myron D. Flickner,Dharmendra S. Modha +15 more
TL;DR: This work presents the first gesture recognition system implemented end-to-end on event-based hardware, using a TrueNorth neurosynaptic processor to recognize hand gestures in real-time at low power from events streamed live by a Dynamic Vision Sensor (DVS).
Journal ArticleDOI
Free viewing of dynamic stimuli by humans and monkeys.
TL;DR: It is shown that while humans were highly consistent, monkeys were more heterogeneous and were best predicted by the saliency model, and strong similarities existed between both species, especially when focusing analysis onto high-interest targets.
Journal ArticleDOI
Superior colliculus neurons encode a visual saliency map during free viewing of natural dynamic video
Brian J. White,David Berg,Janis Ying Ying Kan,Robert A. Marino,Laurent Itti,Douglas P. Munoz +5 more
TL;DR: A strong test of the saliency hypothesis is conducted by comparing the output of a well-established computational saliency model with the activation of neurons in the primate superior colliculus (SC), a midbrain structure associated with attention and gaze, while monkeys watched video of natural scenes.
Proceedings ArticleDOI
