"The Neuromorphic Computing Platform allows neuroscientists and engineers to perform experiments with configurable neuromorphic computing systems. The platform provides two complementary, large-scale neuromorphic systems built in custom hardware at locations in Heidelberg, Germany (the "BrainScaleS" system, also known as the "physical model" or PM system) and Manchester, United Kingdom (the "SpiNNaker" system, also known as the "many core" or MC system)."

"IBM delivered on the DARPA SyNAPSE project with a one million neuron brain-inspired processor. The chip consumes merely 70 milliwatts, and is capable of 46 billion synaptic operations per second, per watt-literally a synaptic supercomputer in your palm." --- No memristors..., yet.: https://www.technologyreview.com/s/537211/a-better-way-to-build-brain-inspired-chips/

(don't forget to turn your hype-filters on...) MoNETA (http://cns.bu.edu/nl/moneta.html) stands for "MOdular Neural Exploring Traveling Agent". It is one of projects participating in the DARPA-funded SyNAPSE project ("Systems of Neuromorphic Adaptive Plastic Scalable Electronics"): http://www.darpa.mil/dso/thrusts/bio/biologically/synapse/index.htm http://www.darpa.mil/dso/solicitations/baa08-28.html

Based in OxRAM... Looking forward to further details.

A nice quartz article about research in neuromorphic hardware in micro/nanotech out there and future vision of the field.

Intel's goal is to build chips that work more like the human brain. Now its engineers think they know how

Good critic to a non neuromorphic approach?

nice introduction to neuromorphic approach and application of memristor

looks like an interesting institute to me ... anybody wants to have a closer look?

And we get another step closer to neuromorphic computing

Seems to be a fun playground for Spiking Neural Networks right (from my newbie PoV)?

Researchers at Tohoku University have, for the first time, successfully demonstrated the basic operation of spintronics-based artificial neural network.

Almost in time for the workshop last week! This new Nature paper (e-mail me for full paper) claims training and usage of neural network implemented with metal-oxide memristors, without selector CMOS. They used it to implement a delta-rule algorithm for classification of 3x3 pixel black and white letters. Very impressive work!!!!

For those not that much into the topic, see the Nature's News and View section www.nature.com/nature/journal/v521/n7550/full/521037a.html?WT.ec_id=NATURE-20150507 where they feature this article.
