On November 7, 2025, our school hosted a special lecture entitled Neuromorphic Computing and Brain-Inspired Neural Networks in Room 217, West Block of Nanyong Building, Suzhou Campus of Nanjing University. The lecture was delivered by Researcher Yu Zhaofei from Peking University and Associate Researcher Li Xiuxing from Beijing Institute of Technology. It was chaired by Assistant Professor Zhang Shaoqun from our school.
Yu Zhaofei focused on the research advances in the field of neuromorphic spiking vision sensing and computing. He highlighted the advantages of the new generation of brain-like visual systems, particularly their ultra-high-speed response compared to traditional vision systems. The presentation showcased Yu Zhaofei's latest achievements in three areas: novel spiking cameras, high-performance brain-like algorithms, and a new-generation brain-like development platform. During the lecture, Li Xiuxing elaborated on the progress in the field of novel neural networks inspired by multi-scale brain mechanisms. He explained how different brain regions inspire algorithm design in artificial intelligence and demonstrated brain-inspired achievements built upon deep neural networks and underlying brain mechanisms.
During the Q&A session, attending students and faculty actively asked questions on topics such as brain-inspired components and mechanisms. Both speakers provided detailed answers, creating a lively atmosphere.
The lecture concluded successfully.
