while offering greater configurability and scale is the ultimate challenge neuromorphic engineers face. Comparison aside, Neurogrid speed and low power characteristics make it ideal for more than just modeling the human brain.
Boahen offers an overview of other ongoing neuromorphic research efforts, including the European union Human brain Project,
IBM OLDEN GATECHIP One of these efforts is IBM Synapse Projecthort for Systems of Neuromorphic Adaptive Plastic Scalable Electronics.
these neuromorphic systems could find numerous applications. For instance, a chip as fast and efficient as the human brain could drive prosthetic limbs with the speed
IBM created the chip as part of DARPA's Synapse program (short for Systems of Neuromorphic Adaptive Plastic Scalable Electronics.
and includes neuromorphic photoreceptors that allow motion perception in a wide range of environments from a sunny day to moon light.
researchers at UC Santa barbara have demonstrated the functionality of a simple artificial neural circuit (Nature,"Training and operation of an integrated neuromorphic network based on metal-oxide memristors").
Rupp calls this ess rigid computing Another possible application could be neuromorphic computing, which, as the name suggests,
Those neuromorphic chips as they are known are purely research projects for the moment. But they might eventually offer a more powerful and efficient way to run software like Brainos.
Although researchers have been experimenting with chips modeled on brainsnown as neuromorphic chipsince the late 1980s,
