Metal-insulator transitions for brain-inspired computing and haptic intelligence

We will focus on electronic phase transition mechanisms in correlated oxide semiconductors that can be used to emulate the characteristics of neurons and synapses in the brain and serve as building blocks for AI hardware as well as sensory interfaces for robotics. We will then discuss how features of intelligence noted in slime molds, insects, birds and mammals can be implemented in electronic devices and circuits for learning and decision-making. Mouse brain – perovskite interfaces as an example of bio-electronic information transfer will then be presented. Electric-field driven orbital occupancy control as a principal mechanism behind function will be discussed and contrasted against band semiconductors.
