Here is a list of the most famous brain inspired computing methods that you need to know about–
1. Artificial Neural Network – ANN
A neuron is like a tiny part of a brain-like computer system. It gets messages from other parts, does some math on them, and then sends out its own message. The connection between these parts is called a “synapse,” and how strong the connection is can be thought of as a “weight.”
The messages themselves are called “activations,” and the math the neuron does is a special kind of calculation. All these neurons working together make up something called an Artificial Neural Network (ANN).
2. Spiking Neural Networks – SNN
Imagine you have a regular computer system (called an artificial neural network or ANN) that does certain calculations. Now, with SNNs, there is an addition of something special: instead of just doing math, each part of the system can also “spike” like a little electrical signal, like in our brain.
3. Neuromorphic computing
This is like making computer parts act like brain parts. It uses special chips with tiny circuits to copy how our brains work. These chips can do smart things like neurons in our brain. The term “neuromorphic” can mean different types of chips, whether they’re all electronic, a mix of electronic and other, or even just software.
4. Reservoir computing
Just like neurons in our brain, the reservoir in reservoir computing processes data in a complex and parallel manner. When we receive input in our brains, it goes through a network of neurons that collectively transform the input into meaningful patterns.
