Brain-computer interfaces and neuromorphic computing

Manohar's research group works on asynchronous circuits and architecture, including theory, design, and automation. They are interested in the design and implementation of extremely low-power circuits that model large-scale interconnected spiking neurons and synapses, energy-efficient machine learning hardware inspired by neuroscience, and low-power electronics for brain-computer interfaces.
