What is Neuromorphic computing?

 “ Neuromorphic computing started as a concept developed


by Carver Mead in the late 1980s”
 “It is a new emerging interdisciplinary field which takes
inspiration from biology, physics, mathematics, computer
science and engineering to design hardware/physical models of
neural and sensory systems.”
NEUROMORPHIC
CHIPS
Modeled on biological
brains—designed to process
sensory data such as images
and sound and respond to
changes in that data in ways
not specifically programmed
NEUROMORPHIC ENG'G IS NOT NEW

 A class of neuromorphic chip has been available since 1993.


 ZISC (Zero Instruction Set Computer), became the world’s first commercially
available neuromorphic chip.
EXISTING
TECHNOLOGY
 IBM TrueNorth -
most advanced
neuromorphic
(brain-like)
computer chip to
date
 Human Brain
Project in Europe
NEUROGRID
 16 chip system,

which
emulates a
million neurons
with a billion
connection
POINT

Nature’s own computing device, the


brain, is extremely powerful and the one
you’re using to read this uses only 20
Watts of power!
MORAVEC'S PARADOX.


Sensory information processing is extremely
easy for brains but extremely hard for modern
computers, whereas symbolic information
processing is comparably hard for brains but
extremely easy for modern computers.
