Computers & Brains: a fascinating liaison | Karlheinz Meier | TEDxRWTHAachen

Energetically, our brain runs on about the same power as our smartphones. However, it seems to be more robust, efficient and capable of solving way more complex problems. Currently the co-director of the Human Brain Project, a pan-European research collective, Karlheinz Meier works on building a replica of the human brain with transistors, ultimately combining the advantages of electronics and biology. Karlheinz Meier is a professor of experimental physics at Heidelberg University in Germany. He has more than 30 years of experience in the field of experimental particle physics, contributing to several projects at the CERN and DESY laboratories. Since 2005 his interest shifted towards customized hardware implementation of neural circuits. He has led two major European initiatives in this field, FACETS and BrainScaleS, and is one of the founders of the Human Brain Project, a flagship research project of the European Commission. This talk was given at a TEDx event using the TED conference format but independently organized by a local community. Learn more at https://www.ted.com/tedx
