.... researchers unveiled a new generation of experimental computer chips designed to emulate the brain's abilities for perception, action and cognition....
.... "This is a major initiative to move beyond the von Neumann paradigm that has been ruling computer architecture for more than half a century," ....
.... While they contain no biological elements, IBM's first cognitive computing prototype chips use digital silicon circuits inspired by neurobiology to make up what is referred to as a "neurosynaptic core" with integrated memory (replicated synapses), computation (replicated neurons) and communication (replicated axons)....
