SYNAPSE

SyNAPSE

SyNAPSE is a DARPA program that aims to develop electronic neuromorphic machine technology that scales to biological levels. More simply stated, it is an attempt to build a new kind of cognitive computer with similar form, function, and architecture to the mammalian brain. Such artificial brains would be used in robots whose intelligence scales with the size of the neural system in terms of total number of neurons and synapses and their connectivity.
