Kolkata, Oct 31 (IANS) India can achieve global recognition in the emerging field of computational brain research, says noted Indian American researcher Anand Raghunathan about the discipline which taps into the human brain's computing mechanism and applies that know-how to develop intelligent systems. Figure this: Your brain uses just 20 watts of energy to crunch data, think, reflect, recognise and remember, the same amount that powers an ordinary light bulb. But machines need millions of watts to achieve such human-like tasks. A team of scientists at the Centre for Computational Brain Research (CCBR) at the Indian Institute of Technology-Madras (IIT-M) is studying the human brain using...
