Artificial “Transneuron”

Recently, researchers developed a single artificial neuron - a “transneuron” - capable of replicating activity from multiple brain regions. This breakthrough brings machines closer to human-like sensing, adaptability, and computation.

What is a Transneuron?

• The transneuron is an artificial neuron that can switch between motor, pre-motor, and visual functions, unlike conventional artificial neurons that perform only one task.
• It processes information using electrical pulses, similar to real biological neurons.

Implications for Robotics and Computing

• Human-Like Robots: Multi-functional neurons allow future robots to sense and respond to their environment like humans.
• Energy-Efficient Hardware: A single transneuron can perform tasks that normally require multiple ....
