IBM eyes brain-like computing - Hardware - Technology - News - iTnews.com.au: IBM is building arrays of electronic, synapse-like devices under its SyNAPSE project that aim to physically mimic the human brain.

The project delivered prototype silicon chips in August that contained 256 neurons and either 262,144 programmable synapses or 65,536 “learning synapses”.

The next step, Kelly said, is to replace components of the chip with materials that support multiple states, and not just the traditional ones and zeros.
