Researcher Looks to Future of Computing through Human Visual Cortex

Computers are often compared to the human brain. While computers can operate faster than the brain, the brain is exponentially more efficient. This is a key reason why the brain remains a source of inspiration for scientists.

One of these scientists is Nabil Imam, an assistant professor at Georgia Tech’s School of Computational Science and Engineering (CSE). Not only does Imam study the possibilities of brain-inspired computing, he also thinks the answer to this engineering question lies in the same parts of the brain that let us see our world.
