Neuro-inspired Information Processing. Alain Cappy

creating these networks, using software or hardware, are presented, together with their respective performance. A state of the art is also given for each approach. In this chapter, we show the benefits of hardware in the design and creation of networks of artificial neural and synaptic networks with ultra-low power and energy consumption, and examples of artificial neural networks ranging from the very simple to the highly complex are described.
