How fortunate that you are on line @TechGirl .

I have just had the opportunity to listen to the introduction to the first Brainchip Arizona Uni lecture again to make sure I did not imagine what clearly is the most significant aspect of this presentation.

The result being that it is as I first heard so here it is among the group of Phd Students attending this lecture were students studying

“SCIENCE FICTION WRITING.”

I know you @TechGirl will understand the significance of this it is bigger than NASA because it means that those students studying computer science and engineering enrolled in the AKIDA course have created such a buzz around Brainchip’s AKIDA technology that it has attracted Science Fiction writers to the lecture.

This not only means the Brainchip Bus has left the depot but it has arrived at the success terminus.

This is truy remarkable most people will not understand the true value.

I see it as a new shift in computing as has been explained by yourself FF and many others.

If Akida was just another chip that just performed better with old technology upgrades there would be no need for the academics to get involved there would be an article and boom some sales till better upgrade i tech come in again.

This is about educating future Engineers on how to apply this new technology. To maximize Akida use in industry imo.

I pretty certain to me that the adoption of Neuromorphic will be extreamly fast paced once the world learns about how Akida works and the benifits and imaginations will take it to inventions not known yet.

Cheers.

Thanks FF, I know this is huge right, I look forward to listening to the Science Fiction in the first BrainChip Arizona Uni lecture.

I remember Peter Van Der Made being very excited for the day to come where BrainChip was being taught in Universities & now they are creating Buzz words about us

BrainChip's Akida to infinity & Beyond

Absolutely. We have seen the excitement in the good people at Brainchip and even at the other companies with which Brainchip has engaged but exciting the future generations of technology experts and entrepreneurs is the way in which Brainchip will flourish for years to come.

I found it interesting that the ASU students were focusing on Care Services applications for their Akida projects

"...Student-led projects which will inspire our next generation of care services, we hope, enabling novel use cases to demonstrate AI enablement

...Care Specific Use Case Scenarios (from 2:34):

• Indoor Environment
• Outdoor Environment
• In-Air Environment
• On-Body Operational Scenario..."

I have to throw this over to the 1,000 Eyes as I just cannot lift the veil that is preventing this memory being fully visualised.

At the beginning in her introduction to this lecture is a reference to working with Wollongong University on health applications.

Some time ago now probably as far back as early 2021 someone found some dots which seemed to link to Wollongong University.

Can anyone recall what these dots related too???

What I will add to this is the Prophesee Brainchip demonstration of in room monitoring of people which fits elder care.

Using event based sensors you preserve privacy but allow falls and adverse events to be monitored live 24/7 at ultra low power equating to ultra low cost important if this is to be an egalitarian health initiative.

Diogenese this is exactly where humankind should travel along to get energy for industrial prosperity with also underdeveloped countries to help them to prosper and built up a democratic lifestyle for their own culture.

I read today something new important technical revolution for producing h2 with an mindblowing efficiency of 95-98%.
It`s a technical invention from an australian university called:

• AIIM Building, Innovation Campus
• North Wollongong
• Wollongong, New South Wales 2500
• Australia

Please feel free to tell the brainchip team to wake up their intrests to support the production process of these new ‘capillary-fed electrolysis cell’ by using Akida Technology or something else, to make it the efficientest h2 technology.

Yes to this link and remember the criticism levelled at this guest and her level of knowledge about AKIDA over at HC.

But look at where it has led Brainchip.

The ignorance and manipulation that the long term visionary investors in Brainchip have endured should become a course of study in a finance degree in years to come.

“Social Media: As a threat to innovation investment and counter measures.”

Or something like that.

As for Wollongong University I am now thinking it might have linked back to Professor Barry Marshall in some fashion and a research area he was working in or something or at least that is what we were trying to find???

Science Fiction is a legitimate way to get a glimpse of the future.
Of course not every scenario comes to fruition and not everything plays out in the reality we share as it may have been envisioned.
Authors will always endeavour to craft their story’s to try and make them entertaining so as to engage an imagined reader.
As in ”true life biography” liberties are taken with time compression, gods eye view and the wisdom and the redrawing of consequence allowed with the benefit of hindsight as well as the imperative of shaping the narrative to fit the authors contention.
However the standard technique revolves around the “what if” scenario whereby the author engages their creative skills with just one or perhaps only a few major impositions upon accepted reality and then proceeds to extrapolate likely consequence.
Ergo, the vast majority of the ‘fiction’ is based on the scientifically verified reality as best it is known/understood at the time of writing.
Many science fiction writers come from the ranks of the various branches of science itself or if not have made an authoritive study of their fields of interest.
So it does not surprise me to hear that prospective authors will be interested in cutting edge technology such as Akida.
It will no doubt become a part of the weft and weave of future imagined worlds as it will be incorporated within ours.

CEO/Co-Founder of NVISO Human Behaviour…​

Published Jun 20, 2017

We are so proud to announce that our AI-specialist company nViso with our Financial Services lead product “EmotionAdvisor” has been accepted into the excellent FCA Innovation Sandbox in UK! If you missed it here is a quick overview of who got in.
Our application was focused around testing our Artificial Intelligence behavioural and emotion-recognition technology to prove whether we can help enhance financial services customers’ profiles for use in banking and insurance.
Innovation Sandboxes
But first of all, what's an Innovation Sandbox? Just from my personal view, it's the regulator helping catalyze industry with start-ups to innovate faster around core issues. As we are new to this journey I can so far say it's been super helpful even during the application process to get a better feeling for how the regulator works, and what they're looking for.
As a white-label software provider, it's important we know the applicable rules and stand ready to answer financial services companies myriad processes and questions from their legal, compliance and regulatory as well as business and IT functions. As a CEO I run a team who face long lead times and a shadow of healthy scepticism in every meeting - so having started a process directly with a sharp regulatory team gives me much more confidence that we have all our ducks in a row headed into such a challenging environment.
I’ll be giving you more real-time updates here out of the Sandbox as we begin the testing process in late summer.
What Inspired us to Apply?
Until now, customer profiling and risk assessments have relied on static questionnaires and dogmatic questions around financial ability and appetite to withstand loss. Whereas we know from leading academic research that client behavioural reactions to loss and finance more generally are also correlate to other more intimate characteristics such as thinking style. Our technology can “read” and interpret such thinking styles by observing pre-emotional expression reactions in response to a series of stimuli, for example a short video. It's important to note we are not measuring fully processed emotions, but what happens in the 20-40 milliseconds before a person thinks through and expresses a reaction to another human.
"This is a critically important point - computers can read true emotional reactions better than humans can."
My goals out of the pilot are to further explore the use cases across Financial consumers’ life cycle with any given provider. We believe AI-driven emotional recognition has a number of important applications including prospecting for suitable customers, login and authentication, client profiling, creating active recommendations for products/services, and even as a more complete feedback loop to a client advisor and firm.
Emotion and Customers Financial Decisions are Highly Connected
As cited in the FCA’s RDR finalized guidance (2012), client profiling using automated tools must be reviewed carefully by a firm and enhanced where necessary to make a complete picture.
EmotionAdvisor is a set of skills we are developing for banks and insurers, asset and wealth managers to enhance their client profiles with behavioural finance relevant information in order to make sharper product, offering or advisory recommendations.
Our core belief is the better you know your client, the more accurate your recommendations and the more you can prove you aligned to their best interests.
EmotionAdvisor may be just what you're looking for to help plug that important gap between static MiFid profiling and true behavioural finance inputs.
About Us...
We're not your average early stage start-up talking about AI and machine learning. I've been CEO of nViso since 2009, we have 30 employees and are a spin-off and are still based out of EPFL (often called the MIT of Europe) and are an official partner with IBM Watson for machine learning and data analysis techniques development. We are now launching our fourth major client with our mainline Financial Services SaaS called EmotionAdvisor.
I also head up the European Union’s front-end offense as organizer of BONSEYES, the EU open marketplace for AI which has a budget of double-digit millions to build our Europe’s offensive capabilities and use cases across industry verticals such as Finance, Automotive, Consumer Retail and IoT among others. Our team is largely made up of PhDs and business people who know how to build and shape a product set.

● FCA’s FARM final report
● EmotionAdvisor prospectus on nViso website
● Paul Ekman history
Are you a Head of Strategy, Digital, Innovation or Products & Services at a bank, insurer, asset or wealth manager, or a FinTech with a B2C offering? Send me a DM and I'd be happy to walk you through in more detail how our product set works and the results we've been able to achieve on behalf of our clients to date.
Please comment below with a question or opinion and I look forwards to answering and providing additional insights to all queries.

We are only scratching the surface. The culmination of real time data analytics on truly "big data" with predictive abilities is the disruptive technology that is far past due. It requires a new computing paradigm since the fundamental algorithms involved in handling sparse data is not suitable for Von Neumann architecture with their macho flops running at. 5% peak.

Completely agree we haven't even got to a stage where we have "fit-for-purpose" hardware for AI and data-driven software - we are still running around with legacy hardware repurposed. Once a stream of new hardware solutions can into the mainstream there will major disruption and capabilities available that weren't imaginable before.

Hi FF,

Just an update:

In 2023:

https://nviso.ai/en/news/nviso-s-la...l-neuromorphic-processor-platform-at-ces-2023

NVISO’s latest Neuro SDK to be demonstrated running on the BrainChip Akida fully digital neuromorphic processor platform at CES 2023

The SDK release supports the latest advancements for analysis of complex emotions:​

Following the recent NVISO Neuro SDK milestone release, including two new high performance AI Apps from its Human Behavior AI App catalogue, Gaze and Action Unit Detection, NVISO is pleased to announce that the SDK can be seen running on the BrainChip Akida platform by visitors to the Socionext CES 2023 stand located at the Vehicle Tech and Advanced Mobility Zone in the Las Vegas Convention Center, North Hall, Booth 10654.​

...

This latest release of the SDK for use by solution developers will support implementation across an increased range of use case scenarios providing for deployment of a wide selection of NVISO’s existing range of real-time, deep learning-based AI Apps, such as those used for face detection, gaze, head pose recognition, facial analysis, emotion recognition, object detection, gesture recognition and body pose analysis along with its recently announced implementation of state of the art graph-based facial analysis applicable to the analysis of complex emotions. ​

Implementation of complex emotion analysis using state-of-the-art graph-based facial analysis. As one of the most important affective signals, facial affect analysis (FAA) is essential for developing human-computer interaction systems. Early methods focussed on extracting appearance and geometry features associated with human effects while ignoring the latent semantic information among individual facial changes, leading to limited performance and generalization. Recent work attempts to establish a graph-based representation to model these semantic relationships and develop frameworks to leverage them for various FAA task.

Just wanted to a wish everyone a happy New Year!
I try to take a break from the market over the holidays to spend time with family, so now that I'm back at work, BRN is back in sight.

Thanks to all who continued to post regarding BRN, CES 2023 and that great video last night confirming lots of continued partnerships with NASA and more.

Hope you all have a prosperous year, I think we will all be duly rewarded for the hard work, patience and positivity maintained.
