The Best Innovation Moments of 2011 – The Washington Post

December 13, 2011 By dmodha

The Washington Post says:

"IBM researchers on Aug. 18, 2011 unveiled a new generation of experimental computer chips designed to emulate the brain’s abilities for perception, action and cognition. The cognitive computing chips, informally referred to as the “brain chip,” could yield many orders of magnitude less power consumption and space than used in today’s computers."
