The other tenuous link between them all is that Valeo link back to Sensor Cortek who link back to Synopsys who also link to ARM as a partnership.Say WHAT?!!!!!!!!
Check out page 33 of Synopsis's "Corporate Overview for Investors May 22".
PS: Thank the gods I topped up on my dwindling supply of champers the other day!!!

BRN with Valeo and ARM already obviously and as @Bravo has now discovered...a possible link to Synopsys which could filter to Sensor Cortek and ultimately Valeo also so potential multiple paths.

If ARM was an arm, BRN would be its biceps💪!
This is pretty cool. Real-time radar-based action recognition utilizing SNN. A match made in heaven for Nintendo + BrainChip IMO.

I read "They're a weird mob" many years ago, it's a wonderful read. Not sure if I've read "Their a weird mob" though? "lowest common denominator"??? hmmm...... ouch. But you are correct, it is an Australian forum, a good way to learn through immersion.
I was just thinking out loud, trying to be inclusive I'll try to refrain from this in the future.

$4.8 Million Biometrics Project To Use Human Breath, AI To Detect Fatigue
Texas A&M and Arizona State University researchers will develop artificial intelligence algorithms to predict fatigue states using human breath.
today.tamu.edu
Texas A&M and Arizona State University researchers will develop artificial intelligence algorithms to predict fatigue states using human breath.
The project aims to better understand sleep deprivation, mental and physical fatigue in humans by measuring breath volatile organic compounds (VOC) biomarkers and how they can affect performance, especially in high-stakes environments.
Understanding the breath VOCs will enable researchers to create a set of AI algorithms to detect a person’s fatigued state.

Something else to maybe keep tabs on developments is the latest award by the US Air Force.
We know the NASA Radneuro project is ongoing as per recent pressos posted.
We know KBR were seeking Radneuro engineers first half of this year with specific mention of Akida as well as Loihi and Google TPU so we can conclude KBR well versed in Akida.
Post in thread 'BRN Discussion 2022' https://thestockexchange.com.au/threads/brn-discussion-2022.1/post-51330
The new award is via a KBR JV with Xandar.
Whilst no specific mention of AI, neuromorphic etc I suspect there could be some crossover needs for same in the contract?
militaryembedded.com
HOUSTON, Texas. KBR has won a $4.8 billion contract through Xandar, a KBR joint venture, to support the National Air and Space Intelligence Center (NASIC) Scientific and Technical Information Analytic Capability Support (NOVASTAR) program, the company announced in a statement.
Under the contract, Xandar will provide NASIC with support for research, development, and sustainment of hardware, systems, and software to be used for scientific and technical intelligence production for the Air Force, the statement reads. The contract runs through 2033.
The purpose of the work is to "provide agile and innovative resource capabilities supporting technical analysis in the intelligence community, turning innovation into intelligence products, and constantly improving productivity in technical analysis product generation," the statement reads.

Not sure if this one comes up under the FENCE program @uiux has been tracking?
Solicitation has closed so worth seeing where award goes maybe.
A couple of stipulations in the scope worth noting in particular Ph III.
TECH FOCUS AREAS: Microelectronics
TECHNOLOGY AREAS: Sensors
OBJECTIVE: This topic seeks to model, design, and produce an asynchronous, event-based infrared read out integrated circuit (ROIC) with low power, medium array format, and digital outputs compatible with neuromorphic algorithms.
PHASE I: Selected Phase I efforts will develop a model for an event based infrared ROIC and imager using provided detector models. The model will be delivered in the form of code (e.g., Matlab, Python) for verification and future validation.
PHASE II: Companies selected for Phase II will design and produce an asynchronous ROIC based on the models at the desired array size and pixel pitch. Efforts will demonstrate low power operation under static scenes, as well as high speed operation. Both hybridized focalplane arrays and unhybridized ROICs will be delivered for testing, with supporting hardware interface control documentation and control software.
PHASE III DUAL USE APPLICATIONS: Phase III efforts will demonstrate a fully packaged camera with a neuromorphic processing chip. Spiking neural network device technology is preferable. Efforts will leverage emerging event-based sensing algorithms to demonstrate.
