Spiking Neural Network Hardware


A collection of documents and links related to spiking neural network hardware implementations.

This is an initial, unsorted and uncategorised collection of stuff. I will attempt to sort and categorise it in due course! Please let me know of any documents or websites that should be added to this page.
