Intelligent wearable Precise health measurements directly on the ear
Wearables such as smartwatches, fitness trackers and data glasses are now part of everyday life. They can measure health data, sleep or calorie consumption. Researchers at the Karlsruhe Institute of Technology (KIT) have now developed the open source platform ‘OpenEarable’. This platform integrates a large number of sensors into wireless earphones. The aim is to…

Artificial neurons organize themselves
Novel artificial neurons learn independently and are more strongly modeled on their biological counterparts. A team of researchers from the Göttingen Campus Institute for Dynamics of Biological Networks (CIDBN) at the University of Göttingen and the Max Planck Institute for Dynamics and Self-Organization (MPI-DS) has programmed these infomorphic neurons and constructed artificial neural networks from…
