TLDR
Inspired by the brain’s structure, an efficient, scalable, and flexible non–von Neumann architecture is developed that leverages contemporary silicon technology and is well suited to many applications that use complex neural networks in real time, for example, multiobject detection and classification.Abstract:
Inspired by the brain’s structure, we have developed an efficient, scalable, and flexible non–von Neumann architecture that leverages contemporary silicon technology. To demonstrate, we built a 5.4-billion-transistor chip with 4096 neurosynaptic cores interconnected via an intrachip network that integrates 1 million programmable spiking neurons and 256 million configurable synapses. Chips can be tiled in two dimensions via an interchip communication interface, seamlessly scaling the architecture to a cortexlike sheet of arbitrary size. The architecture is well suited to many applications that use complex neural networks in real time, for example, multiobject detection and classification. With 400-pixel-by-240-pixel video input at 30 frames per second, the chip consumes 63 milliwatts.read more

Optoelectronic Synaptic Devices for Neuromorphic Computing
TL;DR: Inspired by recent progress in optogenetics and visual sensing, light has been increasingly incorporated into synaptic devices, paves the way to optoelectronic synaptic devices with a series of advantages such as wide bandwidth, negligible resistance–capacitance delay and power loss, and global regulation of multiple synaptic devices.

Hierarchical Address Event Routing for Reconfigurable Large-Scale Neuromorphic Systems
TL;DR: The HiAER protocol provides individually programmable axonal delay in addition to strength for each synapse, lending itself toward biologically plausible neural network architectures, and scales across a range of hierarchies suitable for multichip and multiboard systems in reconfigurable large-scale neuromorphic systems.

Receptive fields, binocular interaction and functional architecture in the cat's visual cortex
David H. Hubel,Torsten N. Wiesel +1 more
TL;DR: This method is used to examine receptive fields of a more complex type and to make additional observations on binocular interaction and this approach is necessary in order to understand the behaviour of individual cells, but it fails to deal with the problem of the relationship of one cell to its neighbours.

Can programming be liberated from the von Neumann style?: a functional style and its algebra of programs
TL;DR: A new class of computing systems uses the functional programming style both in its programming language and in its state transition rules; these systems have semantics loosely coupled to states—only one state transition occurs per major computation.

Object vision and spatial vision: two cortical pathways
TL;DR: Evidence is reviewed indicating that striate cortex in the monkey is the source of two multisynaptic corticocortical pathways, one of which enables the visual identification of objects and the other allows instead the visual location of objects.

Modality and topographic properties of single neurons of cat's somatic sensory cortex.
TL;DR: Observations upon the modality and topographical attributes of single neurons of the first somatic sensory area of the cat’s cerebral cortex, the analogue of the cortex of the postcentral gyrus in the primate brain, support an hypothesis of the functional organization of this cortical area.

Neuronal circuits of the neocortex
TL;DR: It is found that, as has long been suspected by cortical neuroanatomists, the same basic laminar and tangential organization of the excitatory neurons of the neocortex is evident wherever it has been sought.
