Sound Waves Give Neuromorphic Chips a Brain-Simulating Edge

Summary

By mimicking how the brain operates, neuromorphic computing can use dramatically less energy than conventional electronic AI chips. However, even the most sophisticated neuromorphic devices today are still quite simple, using only a small fraction of the number of connections found in human neurons. Now, a new study suggests that by using sound waves, neuromorphic devices can better mimic biological neurons and operate faster and with greater energy efficiency than their electronic counterparts.
