INTRODUCTION

• Neuromorphic computing is a cutting-edge field inspired


by the structure, functionality, and efficiency of the
human brain.
• It seeks to design computers that mimic how biological
neurons and synapses work, with the goal of achieving
energy-efficient, real-time data processing, and
intelligent decision-making.
WHAT IS NEUROMORPHIC
COMPUTING?
• Neuromorphic computing involves building computer
systems that replicate the architecture and operation
of the human brain.
• Neuromorphic computers aim to capture human
brain’s abilities in silicon-based hardware, providing:
⚬ Energy efficiency
⚬ Parallelism
⚬ Adaptability and learning
BIOLOGICAL INSPIRATION
Neuromorphic computing is modeled after two main
aspects of the brain's biology:
• Neurons: These are the brain’s basic computational
units.
• Synapses: These are connections that determine the
strength of signal transmission between neurons.

In a simplified form:
• Neurons are nodes in a network.
• Synapses are weights connecting those nodes.
WHY NEUROMORPHIC
COMPUTING?
The motivation behind neuromorphic computing lies in
the limitations of traditional computing systems

1.Power Consumption
2.Efficiency in Cognitive Tasks
3.Learning and Adaptability
KEY COMPONENTS OF
NEUROMORPHIC SYSTEMS
Neuromorphic systems are composed of:
⚬ Artificial Neurons
⚬ Spiking Neural Networks (SNNs)
⚬ Memristors
⚬ Plasticity Rules
