Zusammenfassung

Like the human brain, neuromorphic computing relies on data sampled from the outside world. In the human brain, sensory neurons provide information about light, touch, sounds, taste, and smell. Using synthetic biology, we want to equip artificial microelectronic systems with one of these senses: the sense of smell, or olfaction. Biological olfaction outperforms traditional chemical technologies in detection limit, specificity, response time, coding capacity, robustness, size, and power consumption. This outstanding performance is mainly due to the unique architecture of the olfactory p...
