Kwabena Boahen, a professor of bioengineering at Stanford University, United States, has envisioned a new generation of computers to be brainlike, or neuromorphic, machines that are vastly more efficient than the conventional computers. As current computer chips are not up to the challenges posed by next-generation autonomous drones and medical implants, “we have reached the point where we need to do something different”, says Boahen.
