Objective: This work explores use of a few-shot transfer learning method to train and implement a convolutional spiking neural network (CSNN) on a BrainChip Akida AKD1000 neuromorphic system-on-chip for developing individual-level, instead of traditionally used group-level, models using electroencephalographic data. The efficacy of the method is studied on an advanced driver assist system related task of predicting braking intention. Main Results: Efficacy of the above methodology to develop individual specific braking intention predictive models by rapidly adapting the group-level model in as few as three training epochs while achieving at least 90% accuracy, true positive rate and true negative rate is presented. Further, results show an energy reduction of over 97% with only a 1.3x increase in latency when using the Akida AKD1000 processor for network inference compared to an Intel Xeon CPU. Similar results were obtained in a subsequent ablation study using a subset of five out of 19 channels.
Significance: Especially relevant to real-time applications, this work presents an energy-efficient, few-shot transfer learning method that is implemented on a neuromorphic processor capable of training a CSNN as new data becomes available, operating conditions change, or to customize group-level models to yield personalized models unique to each individual.
5. Conclusion
The results show that the methodology presented was effective to develop individual-level models deployed on a state-of-the-art neuromorphic processor with predictive abilities for ADAS relevant tasks, specifically braking intent detection.
This study explored a novel application of deep SNNs to the field of ADAS using a neuromorphic processor by creating and validating individual-level braking intent classification models with data from three experiments involving pseudo-realistic conditions. These conditions included cognitive atrophy through physical fatigue and real-time distraction
and providing braking imperatives via commonly encountered visual stimulus of traffic lights. The method presented demonstrates that individual-level models could be quickly created with a small amount of data, achieving greater than 90% scores across all three classification performance metrics in a few shots (three epochs) on average for both the ACS and FCAS. This demonstrated the efficacy of the method for different participants operating under non-ideal conditions and using realistic driving cues and further suggests that a reduced data acquisition scheme might be feasible in the field.
Furthermore, the applicability to energy-constrained systems was demonstrated through comparison of the inference energy consumed with a very powerful CPU in which the Akida processor offered energy savings of 97% or greater. The Akida processor was also shown to be competitive in inference latency compared to the CPU. Future work could
include implementation of the method presented on a larger number of participants, other neuromorphic hardware, different driving scenarios, and in real-world scenarios where individual-level models are created by refining previously developed group-level models in real time.

Hi Fullmoonfever,
was just about to post a link to that paper, too - it goes along with the webinar I posted about a month ago:
The paperās first author is Nathan Lutes, a PhD student at Missouri University of Science and Technology (graduating in December), who has also been working as a Guidance Navigation and Control Engineer for Boeing since 2021.

Depends how long the shorters carry on playing the game and also it depends on the if we get no news in the next 4-6 months as Iām completely out of money as I just spent my airfare to the uk on some more todayplus Iām going for a takeover instead as top 50 sounds boring.
So expecting crypto to go parabolic in the next 4-6 months and hoping to transfer profits over to BRN ???
(me too !! I'm out of funds as well!!)

How it was a news now, the information was all there in last 4cGood morning fellow chippers!
What a great news to wake up to.
New CMO. Looks like big changes are being made! Great move Sean and co!
OMG how exciting! This will surely work for us
Can't help to think that if I recall correctly, our previous CMO Nandan had a lot of experience. He was Ex-ARM and came from Amazon. He was touted as the one we need to drive our product marketing globally through his connections. This was 2 years ago and got a lot of share holders excited. Then he left quietly.
I'd give this new guy 2-3 years top.

Not advice
The SEC is shitā¦ they will never let XRP get like eth or Bitcoin ā¦ this shit is personalā¦ the guy is out of control and like a pit bull if he manage to bite you once, it will never let you go. You have to break his Jaw
MediaTek Dimensity 9400 SoC Could Offer Improved CPU Performance
The MediaTek Dimensity 9400 chipset is also tipped to offer improved power efficiency.
Is it possible Akida is involved with MediaTek to compete with Qualcomm? Just searching for hope here with the depressed share price... years of silence from management is wearing thin.

The way I understand it:
Shareholders will NOT be eligible to participate in the SPP, unless they have a registered address in either Australia or New Zealand.
(It is not about nationality, though.)
You need to read your bankās notification carefully!
This is what Consorsbank sent me - they explicitly note that it is your own duty to check in advance whether or not you are eligible to participate in the SPP, as they wonāt do it (āWir werden dahingehend keine ĆberprĆ¼fung vornehmen.ā) and thus canāt be held liable.
They will, however, block the amount of money equivalent to your share purchase, once you have submitted your application form, so this sum wonāt be at your disposal until BrainChip will have notified your bank that they wonāt accept your order. (Not to mention possibly still charge you transaction fees.)
While it may feel unfair to be ādiscriminated againstā for not having a registered address in either
or 
, the upside is, there is no need whatsoever for affected shareholders to have a guilty conscience when buying from anonymous strangers on the open market instead, which will currently get you quite a few additional shares compared to the fixed SPP issue price of A$0.193! 
No financial advice, though.

I suspect the name of the expert responsible for said Edge Impulse expert project might help to explain Alf Kuchenbuchās unlikely like:
https://thestockexchange.com.au/threads/brn-discussion-ongoing.1/post-408960
I personally did not mean nationality. The text clearly states 'Register address Australia or New Zealand.' So if I, coming from Germany, say 'I thought the offer was only for New Zealanders and Australians,' it should be clear what I mean. Thatās why I wondered. By the way.. my bank still didnāt send me an offer. Thank god, I could buy cheaper by the free market!Catching up on some older postsā¦

Good morning,
As I mentioned 2 weeks ago (approximately) the Investors Quarterly Update Podcast was hopefully going to be
presented during this week, "all going well" but delays do happen.
As we are basically halfway through this current quarter, I would have thought some commentary on our Akida AI Edge-Box
would have surfaced by now, as Sean will be addressing a question from Tony on this subject, maybe that's the hold-up ?
Close of business next Thursday sees the SPP done and dusted, with the pressure continuing on our share price below the
19.3c offering, it will be very interesting to see how the uptake plays out.
The talk of takeover again, seems to me as a signal of desperation, I still believe we will succeed on our own, at the edge, but
I'd certainly be lying to say this last 2 years have been easy, many have a sense of being somewhat pissed on different levels.
Have a pleasant weekend.
