Neuromorphic engineering is an interdisciplinary approach to the design of information processing electronic systems that are inspired by function, structural organization, and physical foundations of biological neural systems. Neuromorphic engineering aims at systems that attain intelligent behavior through adaptation and learning in their interaction with the environment, and that are more robust and orders of magnitude more energy efficient than conventional approaches using digital electronics and user-programmed intelligence.
