Artificial Neural Network Impulse Communications

Introduction

Neural communication is a crucial process that drives our nervous system, our adaptive response, our learning and our survival. Evolution has refined our nerves as a system of biological synapses that carrying signals throughout our bodies. Researchers have attempted to replicate this function in devices through programmable electronics. However, replicating the chemical processes involved in neural communications and its responsive yet compliant nature is a greater challenge that requires smart soft materials.

What is happening now

Current efforts to produce Artificial neural network impulse communications have led to the advent of electronics which are widely used in contemporary devices. However, these technologies bypass the chemical processes and soft materials present in synapse communication, and thus reduce the compatibility of implementing these technologies within the human body.

Our Vision for our Research

Our current research is geared towards electronically functionalizing the response of liquid crystal materials to create smart behaviour with electrical impulses. We are currently experimenting with unconventional communication methods including liquid transfer.

Responsiveness

The responsive properties of liquid crystals make them an ideal candidate for smart materials capable of neural communication.

Complex Neural Network

We aim to electronically functionalize crystals in a complex neural network to allow for conditional physical communication based on triggers from the environment.

Communication

Our vision is to create liquid crystal neural networks capable of communicating internally based on environmental stimuli to adapt its properties autonomously to programmed desired states.
