Susanna Gordleeva: “Neuromorphic Technologies Are the Path to Creating Intelligent AI”
Researchers at Lobachevsky State University in Nizhny Novgorod are developing neuromorphic software that could one day enable thought-controlled devices and breakthroughs in treating neurodegenerative diseases

Scientists at Nizhny Novgorod’s Lobachevsky State University (NNSU) are working on unique software for neuromorphic processors. This research, according to Susanna Gordleeva, director of the university’s Institute of Neuroscience, revolutionize the treatment of neurodegenerative conditions. She shared details at the federal marathon “Znanie.Pervye.”
Gordleeva explained that neuromorphic technologies mimic the principles of the human brain. Nizhny Novgorod is uniquely positioned for such research:
The researchers’ key task is to design special software for neuromorphic hardware.
Developing neuromorphic software is a critical step toward portable devices capable of processing vast amounts of information in real time. This research paves the way for intelligent AI, biomorphic robotics, and brain-computer interfaces. Mind-controlled technology could soon become reality. The technology also holds promise for combating Alzheimer’s disease and extending human cognitive longevity.
Responding to questions about AI risks, Gordleeva stressed that artificial intelligence today is primarily a powerful tool for solving practical problems, not a threat.
