Neuromorphic-enabled video-activated cell sorting by Weihua He, Junwen Zhu, Yongxiang Feng, Fei Liang, Kaichao You, Huichao Chai, Zhipeng Sui, Haiqing Hao, Guoqi Li, Jingjing Zhao, Lei Deng, Rong Zhao, Wenhui Wang

“…NEVACS adopts event camera, CPU, spiking neural networks deployed on a neuromorphic chip, and achieves sorting throughput of 1000 cells/s with relatively economic hybrid hardware solution (~$10 K for control) and simple-to-make-and-use microfluidic infrastructures. Particularly, the application of NEVACS in classifying regular red blood cells and blood-disease-relevant spherocytes highlights the accuracy of using video over a single frame (i.e., average error of 0.99% vs 19.93%), indicating NEVACS’ potential in cell morphology screening and disease diagnosis.…”
