Neuromorphic Chips Mimicking Synaptic Plasticity

Quick fact

The human brain uses about 20 watts of power, while a conventional supercomputer simulating a fraction of its activity can consume megawatts. Neuromorphic chips aim to close that gap by copying the brain's efficient, event-driven processing.

Why this is interesting

Your brain learns by tweaking the strength of connections between neurons. What if a computer chip could do the same—rewiring itself with every experience?
