Neuromorphic Sensing and Diagnostics with Carbon: Towards a Biomimetic Nose

神经形态电子学模拟大脑的认知过程，像大脑一样，能够以极低的能量需求提取数据中的特征和识别模式。碳材料自然地适应于神经形态电子学，并独特地形成了液体和气体介质中传感分子的兼容界面。该项目旨在开发一种碳基神经形态电子传感装置，并将其与碳基神经形态模式识别技术相结合，构建一个“人造鼻子”，以改善健康和环境监测。预期成果将包括一种低成本和快速诊断服务的技术。

Neuromorphic electronics emulates cognitive processes of the brain and like the brain, is capable of extracting features and recognising patterns within data with extremely low energy requirements. Carbon materials are naturally adapted to neuromorphic electronics and uniquely form a compatible interface for sensing molecules in liquid and gaseous media. This project aims to develop a carbon-based neuromorphic electronic sensing device and couple it with carbon based neuromorphic pattern recognition technology to build an ‘artificial nose’ for improved health and environmental monitoring. Intended outcomes will include a technology for low-cost and rapid diagnostic services.
