Neuromorphic Device

Neuromorphic devices mimic the human brain's structure and function to create energy-efficient computing systems, primarily using spiking neural networks (SNNs) for processing information represented as spikes. Current research emphasizes improving SNN performance for tasks like object recognition, keyword spotting, and language modeling, often focusing on optimizing latency and energy consumption through novel architectures and algorithms like shrinking timesteps and heterogeneous core designs. This field is significant because it promises to revolutionize applications requiring real-time processing and low power consumption, such as robotics, embedded systems, and wearable technology.
