▣ Title : The Crystal Ball of Technology: towards a roadmap for innovation
▣ Speaker : Kamran Eshraghian (President of iDataMap)  
▣ Time : Friday, September 21, 2012 (2:00pm-3:30pm)
▣ Place : Room #101, LG Research Bldg.
▣ Hosted by : Prof. Young Hwan Kim (Tel. 279-2227)
▣Abstract : The thought provoking possibilities of neuroscientists offering an insight into the fascinating functions of the more recently discovered “mirror neurons” some of which appear to have formed the foundations of human interaction and the learning processes; and then the “adaption principle” that provides a glimpse into the processing capability of the brain in selective tuning of the unwanted encountered in our daily routines, makes all the rights and wrongs of the new frontiers of smart products well worth the effort. This presentation by the way of examples will highlight the evolutionary nature of progress in technology and will highlight the changes that have taken place during the last decade in the market place primarily are driven by innovators. Some focus will be placed upon the panacea for a new model that would facilitate growth between research and educational sectors and business.  Essential attributes of the technology roadmap that span from simple circuit elements through to complex visual computational engines such as those of an insect vision and then possibilities in the deployment of “mirror neurons” will be explored, thus providing the rational as to why we need innovators in business.
  Prof. Kamran Eshraghian is very well known as the co-author of the best-seller textbook, “Principles of CMOS VLSI Design: a systems perspective”, used by over 800 universities.
 He is also world-famous for his top-notch speeches to inspire creative minds into young students.
