Conductance-based silicon neurons: more clarification of what's "and" and what's "not"
Line 176:
 
===Conductance-based silicon neurons===
Nervous systems differ from the majority of silicon-based computing devices in that they resemble [[analog computer]]s, (not [[digital data]] processors,) and massively [[parallel computing|parallel]] processors, not [[von Neumann architecture|sequential]] processors. To model nervous systems accurately, in real-time, alternative hardware is required.
 
The most realistic circuits to date make use of analog properties of existing [[digital electronics]] (operated under non-standard conditions) to realize Hodgkin–Huxley-type models ''in silico''<ref>L.
