Into the Neural Nexus: Exploring the Power and Potential of Biologically Inspired Neural Networks - Featured in Science Reporter : Jitendra Lab !

The Biotechnology Career Advancement and Re-orientation (BioCARe) Programme, initiated by the Department of Biotechnology (DBT), Ministry of Science & Technology, Government of India, is designed to empower unemployed female scientists by offering their first extramural research funding. This programme aims to facilitate the re-entry of women scientists into mainstream research, helping them advance their careers in biotechnology and allied fields.

Applications are invited from Indian female scientists.

Biologically Inspired Neural Networks (BINNs) represent a fascinating subset of artificial neural networks that draw inspiration from the complex workings of biological systems. These networks emulate various aspects of biological neural networks found in living organisms, such as the human brain. Our recent publication in Science Reporter SR Vol.61(05) [May 2024] by NIScPR-CSIR,India delves deeply into the intricacies of BINNs, offering a comprehensive exploration of their design, functioning, and potential applications. Through our article, readers can gain insights into how these neural networks mimic the behavior of biological neurons, adapt to changing environments, and process information in ways that parallel natural cognitive processes. With BINNs, researchers and engineers are unlocking new frontiers in artificial intelligence, paving the way for innovative advancements in fields ranging from robotics and healthcare to finance and beyond.

This achievement was made possible through collaboration with Dr. Monendra Grover from the Division of Agricultural Bioinformatics at the ICAR-Indian Agricultural Statistics Research Institute (ICAR-IASRI) in New Delhi.
