Abstract
Nature continues to inspire new approaches to sensing, information processing and adaptive technologies. Biological vision is a particularly compelling example: light is detected by photoreceptors and processed through networks of synapses whose responses depend on previous activity and timing. This highly integrated system combines sensing, memory and signal processing while operating with remarkable energy efficiency.
Reproducing similar principles in artificial devices could enable a new generation of low-power, neuromorphic sensory systems. In this seminar, Tomáš Vincze, PhD, will discuss how organic electronic devices can serve as building blocks for artificial visual systems. The presentation will introduce relevant device concepts and highlight the potential of organic transistors and thin-film technologies to emulate functions associated with biological sensing and synaptic processing.
