Neuromorphic Computing
A computing paradigm inspired by biological neural systems, aiming to simulate the behavior of neurons and synapses at the hardware level. Representative products include Intel's Loihi and IBM's TrueNorth chips.

If the brain's efficiency is partly derived from the asynchronous, distributed information routing achieved by traveling waves, neuromorphic architectures may have an advantage over traditional synchronous clock-driven GPU computing in emulating this mechanism.
The core idea of the project is to replace artificially designed network architectures with biological connectomes, placing it at the intersection of neuromorphic computing and connectomics.
The project does not use a spiking mechanism and still operates within the standard backpropagation/weight update framework, and is therefore distinct from neuromorphic computing at the hardware level.
Neuromorphic systems typically employ spiking neural networks (SNNs), which convey information using discrete spike events rather than continuous floating-point numbers.
Intel's Loihi chip and IBM's TrueNorth project in the field of neuromorphic computing both adopt the naming conventions of biological neural systems.
