== Neuromorphic computing ==
'''[[w:Neuromorphic engineering]]''' is also known as '''neuromorphic computing'''  is a concept developed by [[w:Carver Mead]], in the late 1980s, describing the use of [[w:very-large-scale integration]] (VLSI) systems containing electronic [[w:analog circuit]]s to mimic neuro-biological architectures present in the nervous system. 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 [[w:neural system]]s (for [[w:perception]], [[w:motor control]], or [[w:multisensory integration]]).
