Long Description

Neuromorphic computing is an advanced technology that mimics the structure and function of the human brain using artificial neurons and synapses built on specialized hardware. Instead of processing data in a traditional computing architecture, neuromorphic systems utilize a distributed and parallel approach, where multiple artificial neurons communicate with each other through synapses, enabling complex pattern recognition and decision-making capabilities. The artificial neurons and synapses are typically implemented using memristive devices, field-programmable gate arrays (FPGAs), or application-specific integrated circuits (ASICs), which can efficiently process large amounts of sensory data in real-time. This approach allows for adaptive learning and improved performance in tasks such as image and speech recognition, natural language processing, and autonomous systems.
