Research interests
	A list of some recent papers A list with some old (before 1992) papers
	ONGOING RESEARCH  Infrasound
	Space physics and instrumentations for space.
	Instrumentation
	Image processing (PCNN), novelty and change detection
	The new CogniMem chip is a system very much like "the old ZISC", i.e. a RBF-type of neural network. It has a learning algorithm similar to those of Region of Influence and RCE and is easy to use. It has a constant recognition time of 10 microseconds regardless the number of neurons. The set-up shown here has a simple camera and the whole system is very much like the previously RBF-ZISC Star Tracker and Eye recognition system

Travelling & Visits, coming events
	Thomas Lindblad and Clark S. Lindsey (left) visited Johnny Trolliver (middle) and gave a seminar at ORNL, USA . The three of us wrote the book "JavaTech" published by Cambridge University Thomas also visited Andrea Schluter at FU-Berlin, Germany. Ardreas is now (Oct 2008) ready with his Masters Thesis at his University. José Chilo visited prof. Jason Kinser at GMU, USA
	Prof. Åge Eide from HIOF in Halden visited us several times . Vistited us at KTH did prof. Ma Yide and his student Mr. Kun Zhan (lower left) from Lanzhou University. They were interested in translating the book about PCNN and signal/image processing. This was in early October 2008.
