Neuromorphic Engineering Systems


With the success of digital systems, what alternative ways of exploring microelectronics are there?
What kind of computational systems might compete with state-of-the-art computers?


The answer is closer than you may think. The human nervous system is outperforming any computer, not only in size, but also in efficiency and robustness. The knowledge and insight in the computational aspects of our nervous system is rapidly developing. Neuromorphic engineering is biological processing paradigms in microelectronics, not only for understanding the biological computations but also to build useful electronics. Neuromorphic silicon is exploring micropower electronics combining analog and neural representations (spiky).

The future of microelectronics beyond digital systems may as well be neuromorphic silicon.....
