Neuromorphic Engineering by Elishai Ezra Tsur Pdf

The brain is not a glorified digital computer. It does not store information in registers, and it does not mathematically transform mental representations to establish perception or behavior. The brain cannot be downloaded to a computer to provide immortality, nor can it destroy the world by having its emerged consciousness traveling in cyberspace. However, studying the brain's core computation architecture can inspire scientists, computer architects, and algorithm designers to think fundamentally differently about their craft. Neuromorphic engineers have the ultimate goal of realizing machines with some aspects of cognitive intelligence. They aspire to design computing architectures that could surpass existing digital von Neumann-based computing architectures' performance. In that sense, brain research bears the promise of a new computing paradigm. As part of a complete cognitive hardware and software ecosystem, neuromorphic engineering opens new frontiers for neuro-robotics, artificial intelligence, and supercomputing applications. This book will present neuromorphic engineering from three perspectives: the scientist, the computer architect, and the algorithm designer. We will zoom in and out of the different disciplines, allowing readers with diverse backgrounds to understand and appreciate the field. Overall, the book will cover the basics of neuronal modeling, neuromorphic circuits, neural architectures, event-based communication, and the neural engineering framework. Readers will have the opportunity to understand the different views over the inherently multidisciplinary field of neuromorphic engineering.

Neuromorphic Engineering by Fouad Sabry Pdf

What Is Neuromorphic Engineering Neuromorphic computing and neuromorphic engineering are both terms that refer to the same thing: the use of very-large-scale integration (VLSI) systems that incorporate electrical analog circuits to simulate neuro-biological structures that are found in the nervous system. Any electronic device that does calculations with the help of artificial neurons that are implemented as physical structures is referred to as a neuromorphic computer or chip. Recently, the word "neuromorphic" has been used to refer to analog, digital, mixed-mode analog/digital VLSI, and software systems that embody models of brain systems. This use of the term has become more common. To actualize the implementation of neuromorphic computing on the hardware level, oxide-based memristors, spintronic memory, threshold switches, and transistors are some of the components that may be used. Training software-based neuromorphic systems of spiking neural networks can be accomplished through the use of error backpropagation, for instance through the utilization of Python-based frameworks like snnTorch, or through the utilization of canonical learning rules from the biological learning literature, for instance through the utilization of BindsNet.

Neuromorphic Engineering Systems and Applications by André van Schaik,Tobi Delbruck,Jennifer Hasler Pdf

Neuromorphic engineering has just reached its 25th year as a discipline. In the first two decades neuromorphic engineers focused on building models of sensors, such as silicon cochleas and retinas, and building blocks such as silicon neurons and synapses. These designs have honed our skills in implementing sensors and neural networks in VLSI using analog and mixed mode circuits. Over the last decade the address event representation has been used to interface devices and computers from different designers and even different groups. This facility has been essential for our ability to combine sensors, neural networks, and actuators into neuromorphic systems. More recently, several big projects have emerged to build very large scale neuromorphic systems. The Telluride Neuromorphic Engineering Workshop (since 1994) and the CapoCaccia Cognitive Neuromorphic Engineering Workshop (since 2009) have been instrumental not only in creating a strongly connected research community, but also in introducing different groups to each other’s hardware. Many neuromorphic systems are first created at one of these workshops. With this special research topic, we showcase the state-of-the-art in neuromorphic systems.

Advances in Neuromorphic Hardware Exploiting Emerging Nanoscale Devices by Manan Suri Pdf

This book covers all major aspects of cutting-edge research in the field of neuromorphic hardware engineering involving emerging nanoscale devices. Special emphasis is given to leading works in hybrid low-power CMOS-Nanodevice design. The book offers readers a bidirectional (top-down and bottom-up) perspective on designing efficient bio-inspired hardware. At the nanodevice level, it focuses on various flavors of emerging resistive memory (RRAM) technology. At the algorithm level, it addresses optimized implementations of supervised and stochastic learning paradigms such as: spike-time-dependent plasticity (STDP), long-term potentiation (LTP), long-term depression (LTD), extreme learning machines (ELM) and early adoptions of restricted Boltzmann machines (RBM) to name a few. The contributions discuss system-level power/energy/parasitic trade-offs, and complex real-world applications. The book is suited for both advanced researchers and students interested in the field.
