Neuromorphic Chips Leading Towards the Future of AI

Over the past few years, surging focus on neuroscience and prospect of understanding brain functionality have assisted in addressing current technological limitations by utilising neural computation principles. Recognising this potentiality, the research community has launched many remarkable projects to support computational neuroscience, for studying the nervous system's information processing properties. An example of this is the Blue Brain Project to be held in Switzerland at Ecole Polytechnique Federale de Lausanne. This project focuses on simulation of ten thousand neurons in rat's brain by analysing the nervous system in detail. The capability of neural network models to solve several tasks was realised in early 2000's, on the basis of human brain's working process. "Deep learning" has become a buzzphrase and a prevalent term for every neural network model as well as associated technique.
