BIO-X INTERDISCIPLINARY RESEARCH PLATFORM- MASSIVELY PARALLEL BIO-SECURITY AND BIO-COMPUTING RESEARCH USING IN VIVO NEUROTRANSMITTERS AND SYNAPTIC TRANSMISSION
Abstract
This DURIP proposal aims at constructing a versatile hardware-assisted research platform, Bio-X, dedicated to studying how to develop and implement alternative computational architectures and algorithms for next-generation massively-parallel bio-computing and bio- security that entails 1) a huge quantum leap in our computing power and energy efficiency and 2) a systematic methodology in safeguarding biological data during acquisition, transportation, and analysis. While today s computing machinery that executes modern AI-driven and data-centric computing tasks heavily relies on Turing theory and Boolean algebra, therefore often exhibits striking energy inefficiency and algorithmic fragility, this proposed computing research enables intriguing nonsomatotopic computing methodologies, drastically different from centralized encephalization, through scientifically studying how human brain thinks and reacts . Technically, the Bio-X research leverages how electroactive neurotransmitter diffuses and is released from single cells as well as in brain slices and achieves universal computation through the powerful framework of hierarchical and stochastic-based deep learning.
