About

The Bio-inspired Circuits and Systems research group, chaired by Prof. Elisabetta Chicca, was established in August 2020 at the Groningen Cognitive Systems and Materials Center (CogniGron) and the Faculty of Science and Engineering at the University of Groningen.

We aim to identify the principles of neural computation and implement them in fully parallel and low-power neuromorphic systems that offer the opportunity to overcome the limitations of traditional digital architectures. Hereby we develop biologically inspired learning, sensing and acting systems, which allow us to test current theories of neural computation. The physical substrate of these implementations consists of CMOS technology and novel materials.
