Neuromorphic Adaptive Plastic Scalable Electronics: Analog Learning Systems

This article provides an overview of the HRL Systems of Neuromorphic Adaptive Plastic Scalable Electronics (SyNAPSE) project and progress made thus far. The multifaceted SyNAPSE program seeks to advance the state of the art in biological algorithms and in developing a new generation of neuromorphic electronic machines necessary for the efficient implementation of these algorithms by drawing inspiration from biology.The fundamental premise of the HRL team to develop brain architecture and related tools has been to recognize that there was a sequence of evolutionary events by which the brain architecture evolved from a primitive brain into a modern brain.
