Cognitive Electronics

Cognicatus is one of the main drivers in a new field of electronics called Cognitive Electronics.

Equipment based on Cognitive Electronics operates in a way which is similar to the human brain, i.e. it can adapt its behavior depending on its previous experience and the current situation. It can also do predictions based on the same properties. Cognitive electronics, which can be considered as a further development of neural networks and so-called Intelligent Signal Processing devices, can either be based on software algorithms, hardware implementations, or a combination thereof. Neural Electronics or Cognitive Electronics differs however from the "traditional" neural networks by the higher level of feedback and thereby network complexity.

Cognicatus is currently working with departments at LiU (Linköping University) to develop an apparatus that improves the user’s recognition of speech in hearing aids, cellular phones, conference phones etc.

Cognicatus is currently developing its own architecture for hardware realized Cognitive Electronics. The architecture will take advantage of the complexity available in the latest IC technology. It will be built with a mixed signal architecture which will have performance second to none.
