( Discuss ) Proposed since February 2015. Neuromorphic engineering , also known as neuromorphic computing , [1] [2] [3] is a concept developed by Carver Mead , [4] in the late 1980s, describing the use of very-large-scale integration (VLSI) systems containing electronic analog circuits to mimic neuro-biological architectures present in the nervous system. [5] In recent times the term neuromorphic has been used to describe analog, digital, mixed-mode analog/digital VLSI, and software systems that implement models of neural systems (for perception , motor control , or multisensory integration ). The implementation of neuromorphic computing on the hardware level can be realized by oxide-based memristors , [...
