Introduction to Brain-inspired Computing (Autumn 2020)

The brain is powerful of cognitive tasks with a power consumption at only 20 Watt. As a contrast, today's AI based on von Neumann computers consumes megawatt in a similar task. Neuromorphic computing that emulates the working principles of the brain is thus emerging for the energy efficient cognitive computing. This course provides the basic knowledge about how the brain works.
