DESCRIPTION:The world as we know it is going through some major upheavals: 
 climate change\, pandemics and technology-induced societal changes are ups
 etting our world-picture with no real end in sight. Hence\, an extremely r
 elevant question is how ‘we humans’ are going to cope with this rapid 
 evolution. One plausible answer is for us to use those same technologies t
 o evolve ourselves\, and to equip us with the necessary tools to interact 
 with\, survive\, and prosper in spite of (or in light of) these changes.\n
 \nVarious wearable devices have been or are being developed to do just tha
 t. However\, their potential to create a whole new set of human experience
 s is still largely unexplored. To be effective\, functionality cannot be c
 entralized and needs to be distributed to capture the right information at
  the right place. This requires a human intranet\, a platform that allows 
 multiple distributed input/output and information processing functions to 
 coalesce and form a single application. In this presentation\, we focus on
  the computational aspects of such an intranet\, tasks that are complicate
 d by the extreme energy and form-factor limitations imposed on the wearabl
 e (or implanted) devices. An important aspect is that the human intranet s
 hould not only be able to learn from experience\, but capable of dealing w
 ith changes in both the environment and in itself. Moreover\, it should be
  able to do so on a continuous base. Computational models\, architectures 
 and circuits that enable such capabilities at ultra-low energy and small f
 orm factor are hence needed. A glimpse of what may be possible will be pre
 sented.\n\nJan Rabaey is a Professor in the Graduate School in the EECS De
