Un progetto di chip "cognitivo", capace cioè di emulare le funzioni neurali di un cervello biologico tramite una enorme griglia di neuroni di silicio, interconnessi da sinapsi virtuali.

Researchers at IBM have been working on a cognitive computing project called Systems of Neuromorphic Adaptive Plastic Scalable Electronics (SyNAPSE). By reproducing the structure and architecture of the brain—the way its elements receive sensory input, connect to each other, adapt these connections, and transmit motor output—the SyNAPSE project models computing systems that emulate the brain's computing efficiency, size and power usage without being programmed.
