Where do we start?
Neurobiology and semiconductor scaling
- Device count: Benefit biology (by 106)
- 1015 synapses in the human brain
- 109 transistors on an IC
- Device speed: Benefit silicon (by 106)
- Biology has 100µs temporal resolution
- Digital circuits will have a 100ps clock
- An even match??? Or the wrong comparison???
- Digital computers will always be better at math
- Will animal brains always be better at speech or vision?
Can we even call the brain a computer?
