Switzerland - Chips work like brain

RESEARCHERS in Switzerland say they have made microchips that imitate the way our brains process information, unlocking some of the mystery around how the world's most efficient computer functions.

Scientists at the University of Zurich and ETH Zurich, together with colleagues in Germany and the United States, created electronic systems comparable to a human brain both in size, speed and energy consumption, the university said in a statement late Monday.

The researchers built networks that can perform tasks requiring short-term memory and decision-making and analytical abilities, officials said.
