Mammalian-brain-inspired neuromorphic motion-cognition nerve achieves cross-modal perceptual enhancement

Bioinspired neuromorphic motion-cognition nerve

Our bioinspired neuromorphic motion-cognition nerve is inspired by the cross-modal integration of sensory cues for motion and spatial perception. In macaques, self-motion in the environment invokes inertial stimuli in the inner-ear vestibular, and visual stimuli in the retina (Fig. 1a)^6,25. The vestibular-inertia and visual-speed information are converted to spike trains carrying different spatiotemporal patterns and then processed in the networks of neurons and synapses through the process of sensory perception and cognition²⁶.
