Deep learning in spiking neural networks

TLDR
The emerging picture is that SNNs still lag behind ANNs in terms of accuracy, but the gap is decreasing, and can even vanish on some tasks, while SNN's typically require many fewer operations and are the better candidates to process spatio-temporal data.

What is the relationship between spiking neural networks and neuromorphics?

The paper mentions that spiking neural networks (SNNs) are more biologically realistic than artificial neural networks (ANNs) and are the better candidates to process spatio-temporal data. Additionally, SNNs combined with bio-plausible local learning rules make it easier to build low-power, neuromorphic hardware. Therefore, the relationship between SNNs and neuromorphics is that SNNs are a suitable approach for implementing neuromorphic hardware.
