Neuromorphic Computing

Neuromorphic Systems: have systems based on neuroscience, to perform biological like tasks, including robotics, and thereby contribute to neuroscience understanding.

Neuromorphic computing looks at the connection between neurobiological and silicon systems to build networks of synapses, dendrites, and neurons that results in both competitive engineering applications and new questions to investigate the underlying neuroscience.
