Research interest:
Silicon neuron and neural network are our current research theme. Our final goal is toachieve cerebration machine more "intelligent" than human brain. We DO NOT stick to any
specific research fields but incorporate and combine organically the knowledge in
Theoretical, Constructive, and Phenomenological research fields.
