ARM processors and neural networks
Massimiliano Versace | July 13, 2010
If you had doubts before starting to read Neurdon, I think that by now you have come to the realization that there are as many neuroscientists that use computers than computer scientists that want to “use” neuroscience. This post is another example of the latter: Steve Furber, Professor of Computer Engineering at the University of Manchester and leader of the team that designed the the 32bit ARM microprocessor, is trying to build a large-scale neural simulator out of ARM processors.

Ever wondered what neurons do to each other? How does a signal generated in one neuron cause a reaction in another neuron? Neurons behavior is fairly complex (see 
“You think you know when you learn, are more sure when you can write, even more when you can teach, but certain when you can program.”
All this Neurdon hullabaloo over memristors and Kurzweilian futurism has got me thinking about the inevitable media question concerning all this: Will our RoboSlave Bots learn to love us in a somewhat creepy, Haley Joel Osment
