Münster University physicists working on developing a computer modelled on a brain

"Our hardware could help to automatically identify cancer cells." The joint research project is funded by the EU comission with four million euros.

Faster computers with a higher performance: collaborating with researchers from Belgium, France, the UK and Switzerland, Prof. Wolfram Pernice from the Institute of Physics at the University of Münster is working on developing intelligently networked computer technology which functions in a similar way to a brain. The project, set to run for four years, is receiving four million euros of funding from the European Commission. Kathrin Nolte spoke to Pernice, a nanophysicist, about this new research being undertaken, and about artificial brains and prospects for the future.
