Agreed, let’s go RTI must say, I would be feeling a LOT more confident of a solid connection if Rob Telson just happened to all of a sudden "like" heaps of Sony stuff on LinkedIn. Wink wink nudge nudge Tony!!!

In the absence of any such examples I can only hope that the "contact" with Sony went extremely well back in 2019!

I sure hope so, my only concern is it maybe synsense working with Sony… it mentions Switzerland? Synsense is in ZurichNVISO announces it has reached a key interoperability milestone with BrainChip Akida Neuromorphic IP achieving ultra-low latency (<1ms) processing at the edge
NVISO has successfully completed full interoperability of four of its AI Apps from its Human Behavioural AI catalogue to the BrainChip Akida neuromorphic processor achieving a blazing average model throughput more than 1000 FPS and average model storage of less than 140 KB.

Sony to make self-driving sensors that need 70% less power
"Sony plans to lower the amount of electricity needed in self-driving systems through edge computing, processing as much data as possible through AI-equipped sensors and software on the vehicles themselves instead of transmitting it to external networks. This approach is expected to shrink communication lags as well, making the vehicles safer."
"Sony will also incorporate image recognition and radar technologies into the new sensor, drawing on various types of data to facilitate self-driving even in rain and other difficult conditions.
The group controls almost half the global market for image sensors. It entered the automotive market in 2014, and aims to have dealings with 75% of key automakers worldwide by fiscal 2025."
What a day! The 1000 eyes have certainly had a field day! and GREEN too!
Makes you wonder why anyone would question whether or not those at Brainchip aren't doing there job.
One of these days BRN is going to explode, and you'd want to be hanging on to as many shares as you could!
DYOR not financial advice.
Thank you for pointing this out. I'd seen various images in the investor presentations, however hadn't appreciated this was actually gaze tracking (compared with the emotion recognition software).
I have been a convertible note investor for some time. I would counsel doing research and engaging in direct Q&A with management. I think it would be important to view the Balance Sheet before dropping any $ to determine the overall health of the company.
It does not seem like the last funding round (May?) was successful. Due to the number of funding rounds and [limited] progress they may be struggling to raise via brokers. It may have been posted here but the latest correspondence highlights a focus on securing a strategic partner. This seems like a good idea, but i wonder if this may deprioritise an IPO?
Hopefully this does not sound 'manipulative' however communication from the company has been poor in my experience. There has been a lot of newsflow recently. I wonder if this is one last-ditch attempt to keep the company afloat.
I like the sector, but would much prefer to back BRN.

Yes but NVISO is also located in Switzerland as well as Japan Australia and USA
Plus we have on chip learning which synsense doesnt
3.7 DYNAP
DYNAP (Dynamic Neurormorphic Asynchronous Processors) is a family of solutions from SynSence, a company from the University of Zurich. The company has a patented event-routing technology for communication between the cores.According to [dynap_routing], the scalability of neuromorphic systems is mainly limited by the technologies of communication between neurons, and all other limitations are not so important. Researchers at SynSence invented and patented a two-level communication model based on choosing the right balance between point-to-point communication between neuron clusters and broadcast messages within clusters. The company has presented several neuromorphic processors (ASICs): DYNAP-SE2, DYNAP-SEL and DYNAP-CNN.
The Dynap-SE2 and Dynap-SEL chips are not commercial projects and are being developed by neuroscientist as tools for their research. But Dynap-CNN (2021 tinyML) is marketed as a commercial chip for efficient execution of CNNs converted to SNNs. Whereas the Dynap-SE2 and Dynap-SEL research chips implement analog computing and digital communication, Dynap-CNN is fully digital.
Dynap-SE2 is designed for feed-forward, recurrent and reservoir networks. It includes four cores with 1k LIFAT analog spiking neurons and 65k synapses with configurable delay, weight and short term plasticity. There are four types of synapses (NMDA, AMPA, GABAa, GABAb). The chip is used by researches for exploring topologies and communication models of the SNN.
Main distinctive features of Dynap-SEL chip are support for on-chip learning and large fan-in/out network connectivity. It has been created for biologically realistic networks emulation. The Dynap-SEL chip includes five cores, only one of which has plastic synapse. The chip realizes 1,000 analog spiking neurons and up to 80,000 configurable synaptic connections, including 8,000 synapses with integrated spike-based learning rules (STDP). Researchers are using the chip to model cortical networks.
The Dynap-CNN chip has been available with the Development Kit since 2021. Dynap-CNN is a 12 mm2 chip, fabricated in 22nm technology, hosting over one million spiking neurons and four million programmable parameters. Dynap-CNN is completely digital and realizes linear neuron model without leakage. The chip is best combined with event-based sensors (DVS) and is suitable for image classification tasks. In the inference mode the chip can run a SNN converted from a CNN, in which there may be not more than nine convolutional or fully connected layers and not more than 16 output classes. On-chip learning is not supported. The original CNN must be initially created with PyTorch and trained by classical methods (for example, on GPU). Further, using the Sinabs.ai framework (an open source PyTorch based library), the convolutional network can be converted to a spiking form for execution on Dynap-CNN in the inference mode.
Dynap-CNN has demonstrated the following results:
- CIFAR-10: 1mJ at 90% accuracy,
- attention detection: less than 50 ms and 10 mW,
- gesture recognition: less than 50 ms and 10m W at 89% accuracy,
- wake phrase detection: less than 200 ms at 98% sensitivity and false-alarm rate less than 1 per 100 hours (office background).
3.8 AKIDA
Akida [akida] is the first commercial neuromorphic processor, commercially available since August 2021. It has been developed by Australian BrainChip since 2013. Fifteen companies, including NASA, joined the early access program. In addition to Akida System on Chip (SoC), BrainChip also offers licensing of their technologies, providing chip manufacturers a license to build custom solutions.The chip is marketed as a power efficient event-based processor for Edge computing, not requiring an external CPU. Power consumption for various tasks may range from 100 µW to 300 mW. For example, Akida is capable of processing at 1,000 frames/Watt (compare to TrueNorth with 6,000 frames/Watt). The first generation chip supports operations with convolutional and fully connected networks, with the prospect to add support of LSTM, transformers, capsule networks, recurrent and cortical neural networks. ANN network can be transformed into SNN and executed on the chip.
One Akida chip in a mesh network incorporates 80 Neural Processing Units (NPU), which enables modeling 1,200,000 neurons and 10,000,000,000 synapses. The chip is built at TSMC 28 nm. In 2022, BrainChip announced the second generation chip at 16 nm.
Akida’s ecosystem provides a free chip emulator, TensorFlow compatible framework MetaTF for transformation of convolutional and fully connected neural networks into SNN, аnd a set of pre-trained models. When designing a neural network architecture for execution at Akida, one should take into account a number of additional limitations concerning the layer parameters (e.g. maximum convolution size is 7, while stride 2 is supported for convolution size 3 only) and their sequence.
The major distinctive feature is that incremental, one-shot and continuous learning are supported straight at the chip. At the AI Hardware Summit 2021 BrainChip showed the solution capable of identifying a human in other contexts after having seen him or her only once. Another product by BrainChip is a smart speaker, that on having heard a new voice asks the speaker to identify and after that calls the person by their name. There results are achieved with help of a proprietary local training algorithm on the basis of homeostatic STDP. Only the last fully connected layer supports synaptic plasticity and is involved in learning.
Another instructive case from the AI Hardware Summit 2021 was a classification of fast-moving objects (for example, a race car). Usually, such objects are off the frame center and significantly blurred but they can be detected using an event-based approach.
Looks like Sony has sensor operations in Switzerland

Hmm. Normally......I would not intervene by making any suggestions about a subject like this but..........I am disgusted that BRN is attached in any way as a "supply" of potential Funds and Investors simply by being a BrainChip holder. (referred)
There is a LINK to that other place we hated (still do) which has an EXCELLENT record of discussions on NVISO worthy of looking at going back to 2018.
NVISO forum IPO - https://hotcrapper.co.nz/threads/nviso-ai-ipo.4359015/?get_post=true
would not let me post link so above is website just change "crapper" for "copper"
MY STRONG suggestion is if you go to the link..........(which is page #1.) and at the TOP of post USE THE > (arrow) to navigate through all the posts quickly. Just click quickly through to current date and you will SEE a pattern of questions and answers easily.
You do NOT need to .....Log in.
Ok your D/D on what you read and decisions about any IPO.
I will say regardless of product (being very good) the attitude of the Management team is extremely important. You will understand what i mean after doing as suggested above.
Good luck with your decisions.
ps. IF after doing so you do invest, PLEASE do NOT come back here later and winge, whine or complain in any form as you have had ample opportunity to do D/D.

Why is a Swiss company listing in Australia? Do they see big things happening for BRN and are trying to piggy back off BRN's future success?Ok. I personally haven't see this yet as just found it so....
I'm just gonna post a couple snips, links and a PDF....will let it speak for itself

One of the reasons for the BRN question would be they would assume BRN holders already know about NVISO so they're trying to gauge how much interest from others??

ASX admission criteria are less stringent compared with other markets. The company has previously raised capital from Australian investors so the ASX is a logical exchange. I'm not sure why capital was initially raised in Australia rather than in Europe?

I like the sound of this " Edge Impulse officially supports the first Professional & Industrial Linux Processor from Renesas Electronics - RZ/V2L including the DRP-AI Accelerator" Lots of great applications will run on this HW and many others will make use of Edge Impulse to add intelligence to these devices. The future looks bright!

Don't think matters much in the digital age where the location is. More about where your own division and resources located. In this case Switzerland for Sony.
Gotta remember Sony already work with Prophesee on the vision sensors and BRN now work with Prophesee.
Prophesee also have an office in Grenoble (not sure what they do there) I believe which is only 350 hundred odd KMs away if really felt like driving haha

Could still be totally off base but I had been thinking about the V2L previously as per below links in the Renesas thread late June.

I know how everyone on this forum loves a good breadcrumb so does anyone else remember our Chairman Antonio Viana incorporating a nice little story about SONY in his Chairman's address at this years AGM?
'As for VHS vs BetaMax....this is a lesson in how the “best” technology sometimes doesn’t win. Sony had the better solution with BetaMax....it was smaller, cheaper, equivalent in quality (if not better) to VHS...and its machines were smaller and easier to manufacture....how did they lose to VHS who would became the world standard? Well, VHS won over all the film production companies by signing exclusive deals. This in essence captured the market. Sony focused on everything except the film production houses.'
Is this just a neat little story or has Antonio left us a little golden nugget mentioning SONY...
