Rodney Douglas is the director of the Institut of Neuroinformatic (INI) of the Institut Federal Tecnología Zúrich, founded in 1995. One of the major research areas of this university is neuromorphic engineering, namely the design and manufacture of artificial neural systems whose principles of design and architecture are based on those of biological nervous systems.

One of their current projects is an artificial retina. It is an artificial silicon retina that operates according to principles generated based on what is happening at every moment.
