The term neuromorphic was coined by Carver Mead, in the late 1980s to describe Very Large Scale Integration (VLSI) systems containing electronic analog circuits that mimic neuro-biological architectures present in the nervous system. In recent times the term neuromorphic has been used to describe both analog, digital or mixed-mode analog/digital VLSI systems that implement models of neural systems (for perception, motor control, or sensory processing) as well as software algorithms. 2, record 1, English, - neuromorphic

Aujourd'hui, quelques ingénieurs font des progrès notables dans l'imitation de l'organisation et du fonctionnement des neurones. Ils disent avoir reproduit la structure des connexions neurales dans des circuits de silicium, créant des micropuces dites neuromorphiques. 3, record 1, French, - neuromorphique
