PLEIADES: Building Temporal Kernels with Orthogonal Polynomials
We introduce a class of neural networks named PLEIADES (PoLynomial Expansion In Adaptive Distributed Event-based Systems), which contains temporal convolution kernels generated from orthogonal polynomial basis functions. We focus on interfacing these networks with event-based data to perform...

Hi all, happy Friday.
Can anyone enlighten me (or others) if we are in any of this prophese magic. It all sounds pretty good to me, especially if you download and have a look at the whitepaper, lots of mentions of SNN, few shot learning, ultra low power, etc etc.
I know Prophese is listed on the Brainchip website as an enablement partner, but within the whitepaper there are mentions of synsense. So very confusing for me.
Any clarity would be good, and if this is essentially us, I like it a lot.
Cheers

No — Akida (BrainChip’s neuromorphic hardware) is not mentioned or used in this project.
The SFERA system relies on:
- Two Prophesee EVK4 event cameras with Fujinon fisheye lenses.
- Standard CPU-based processing (real-time >50 Hz) for detection and tracking.
- Algorithms:
- Event clustering (Prophesee SDK).
- Bayesian state estimator with a von Mises–Fisher distribution for tracking.
The paper specifically notes that all processing runs on a standard CPU, with no mention of specialized neuromorphic accelerators like Akida, Loihi, or SpiNNaker.
That said, the event-based nature of SFERA means it could benefit from neuromorphic processors like Akida in future work — but this isn’t part of the current implementation.Do you want me to check if there are any follow-up works where SFERA (or similar 360° event cameras) have been paired with Akida or other neuromorphic chips?
Yes!
Short answer: No evidence that Akida was used with SFERA specifically — but Akida has been integrated with Prophesee event cameras in other projects and there’s active research combining event cameras with neuromorphic processors. I searched the paper, the authors’ GitHub, vendor blogs and recent news to confirm. PROPHESEE+1
Details & supporting sources
- The SFERA paper / project description and the authors’ GitHub make no mention of Akida or BrainChip hardware — SFERA’s prototype uses Prophesee EVK4 cameras and CPU-based processing. PROPHESEE+1
- BrainChip (Akida) and Prophesee have an established partnership and demos showing Akida processing data from Prophesee event cameras (announced in 2022 and demonstrated at events in 2025). So pairing Prophesee sensors with Akida is feasible and has been publicly shown — but that is not the same as the SFERA authors having done it. PROPHESEE+1
- There are real-world deployments and press items describing Akida+Prophesee solutions for drone / search-and-rescue / detection tasks (examples reported by BrainChip / partners). These show the ecosystem moving toward such pairings. BrainChip+1
- Academic and preprint work also explores combining event cameras with neuromorphic processors or spiking/SNN approaches — i.e., the idea is actively researched and viable.

"... a concept invented 4+ years ago ..."
We knew the patents were filed in 2022, so they were developing the concept for some time before that, and the applications have continued to evolve to the stage where TENNs now replaces transformers in many applications.

We'd all love certainty on this.
We've been friends with Prophesee for a while:

BrainChip Demonstrates Gesture Recognition with Prophesee EV4 Development Camera
There was a time when Prophesee did team up with Synsense (and Sony?), and I thought their el cheapo GenX320 was developed so Synsense could keep up.
But then Synsense merged with Inivation (Prophesee's nemesis).
So there is this:

Efficient AI-Powered Detection
Arquimea has deployed Akida with a Prophesee camera on a drone to detect distressed swimmers and surfers in the ocean helping lifeguards scale their services for large beach areas, opting for an event-based computing solution for its superior efficiency and consistently high-quality results.

Thanks @Guzzi62 and @Diogenese. Really appreciate your effort in reply. So much mixed feelings for me, I take note sadly, of Guzzi62 chatbot reply, yet optimistic of Diogenese. Hopefully the future holds promise for the partnership with Prophese, just wish it would chop chop hurry up.
Thanks again, enjoy the weekend.

Seriously? Did you even use a proper search engine (if yes, which one?) or merely consult ChatGPT to help you source the original source?
(The LLM may obviously have had a “motive” to deflect from the MIT researchers’ findings and hence may have falsely claimed no such study existed…
)While the authors of the pre-print published in June 2025 wouldn’t fully agree with the (presumably) AI-generated and in part unfactual* “summary” of their study that @Brainshit’s screenshot shows, the study as such is very real. The paper is titled “Your Brain on ChatGPT: Accumulation of Cognitive Debt when Using an AI Assistant for Essay Writing Task” and can easily be found online by googling “MIT study ChatGPT”:
*In the project website’s FAQ section, they distance themselves from sensationalist and too general interpretations of their study (which they freely admit has certain limitations) and from inaccurate terms such as “brain-scans”.
Also, the “83.3 %” refer to the following sentence: “Quoting accuracy was significantly different across experimental conditions (Figure 6). In the LLM‐assisted group, 83.3 % of participants (15/18) failed to provide a correct quotation, whereas only 11.1 % (2/18) in both the Search‐Engine and Brain‐Only groups encountered the same difficulty.”

@Diogenese
If you don’t mind sharing your expertise Dio as the answers from Google leave me confused.
Who owns the rights to the Plaides patents?
The applicant or inventor?
Reads to me as though it’s the employer?
On further reading sounds like there might be employment conditions or contract establishing this issue so it depends on employment contract conditions?
Pretty important issue!
Edit: my concern is Qualcomm have now pinched Rudy so hoping Plaides is protected by the patent or if they get access to that too?
Cheers

The applicant of course… if you’re employed, most contracts state that inventions related to the company’s tech belong to the employer. Independent stuff outside the company’s field/resources usually stays yours, but it depends on local law and the contract.

Yet another brilliant week being a BRN shareholder and with SP rising so much over the last 5 days we all could retire in another 22 years. Have a safe a wonderful weekend all 
There will be an assignment agreement in the employment contract to assign the invention to the employer.
As usual US law is a bit different from British-based systems. The Constitution requires the patent to be filed by the inventor and it can then be assigned to the employer, whereas, in our system the patent application is usually filed by the employer.
Key date is the priority date, when the application was first filed.
As Rudy and Olivier were both employees of BRN at the time the invention was made, BRN is the owner.
No doubt they got a lot of bonus shares.
An interesting case may arise if Rudy creates an improvement invention which requires the use of the original TENNs patents. In such a case the improvement invention is subject to the original patent and could not be used without some agreement (licence/cross-licence) with BRN.

Thanks @Diogenese for indulging me. You always add value to the subject…. and I knew you’d be all over it!
It’ll be handy to have Qualcomm provide a mass market revenue stream for us!
