Intelligent platforms that collaborate with operators can enhance human capabilities while reducing tedium and adding resiliency and adaptability to current systems. While programmable machines are limited in their ability to address fuzzy complex scenarios, high dimensional dynamic processing, based on neurologically inspired reservoir computing concepts can address these issues. This talk by Dr. Bryant Wysocki explores the brain and how it relates to unconventional computational systems with emphasis on the basics of a new class of computationally intelligent processes governed by the nonlinear dynamics of electronic and optical systems.

Those interested in learning more about reservoir computing and related topics are invited to attend the free TACNY John Edson Sweet Lecture on Tuesday, April 14, from 5:30 to 8 p.m. at Onondaga Community College. Walk-ins are welcome, but we ask that people RSVP by emailing sweet.lecture@tacny.org by Tuesday, April 10, 2015.

Presenter:

oesgp_schematicDr. Bryant Wysocki is the Chief Engineer, Information Directorate, Air Force Research Laboratory (AFRL), Rome, N.Y. Bryant’s recent work examines the development of unconventional computational systems with emphasis on nano-computing architectures and biologically inspired neuromorphic processing.
