Technical Definition

Engineering that mimics the structure and function of biological neural networks using electronic circuits.

How it works

Neuromorphic engineering, or neuromorphic computing, involves creating systems that replicate the neuro-biological architectures of the nervous system using electronic analog circuits. This field encompasses VLSI systems, and both analog and digital implementations designed to model neural system functions like perception and motor control.
