Although it is now possible to integrate many millions of

transistors on a single chip, traditional digital circuit

technology is now reaching its limits, facing problems of cost and

technical efficiency when scaled down to ever-smaller feature

sizes. The analysis of biological neural systems, especially for

visual processing, has allowed engineers to better understand how

complex networks can effectively process large amounts of

information, whilst dealing with difficult computational

challenges.

Analog and parallel processing are key characteristics of

biological neural networks. Analog VLSI circuits using the same

features can therefore be developed to emulate brain-style

processing. Using standard CMOS technology, they can be cheaply

manufactured, permitting efficient industrial and consumer

applications in robotics and mobile electronics.

This book explores the theory, design and implementation of

analog VLSI circuits, inspired by visual motion processing in

biological neural networks. Using a novel approach pioneered by the

author himself, Stocker explains in detail the construction of a

series of electronic chips, providing the reader with a valuable

practical insight into the technology.

Analog VLSI Circuits for the Perception of Visual Motion:

analyses the computational problems in visual motion perception;

examines the issue of optimization in analog networks through

high level processes such as motion segmentation and selective

attention;

demonstrates network implementation in analog VLSI CMOS

technology to provide computationally efficient devices;

sets out measurements of final hardware implementation;

illustrates the similarities of the presented circuits with the

human visual motion perception system;

includes an accompanying website with video clips of circuits

under real-time visual conditions and additional supplementary

material.

With a complete review of all existing neuromorphic analog VLSI

systems for visual motion sensing, Analog VLSI Circuits for the

Perception of Visual Motion is a unique reference for advanced

students in electrical engineering, artificial intelligence,

robotics and computational neuroscience. It will also be useful for

researchers, professionals, and electronics engineers working in

the field.
