The latest advances in research on intracranial implantation of hardware models of neural circuitry.

Analytical and experimental investigations of 1-D and 2-D coherent and incoherent space-variant optical processors have been conducted. Areas investigated have included (1) bilinear transform implementations using AO processors; (2) optical polynomial processing; (3) window-programmable image processors; (4) optical multistage interconnection networks; and (5) a 2-D C1os interconnection network. Keywords include: Space-variant optical computing, Optical interconnections, Multistage interconnection networks, C1os network, and Polynomial processors.
