Abstract
Present approaches for computing do not have the perfor- mance, flexibility and reliability of neural information processing sys- tems. In order to overcome this, conventional computing systems could benefit from various characteristics of the brain such as modular organi- zation, robustness, timing and synchronisation, and learning and memory storage in the central nervous system. This overview incorporates some of the key research issues in the field of biologically inspired computing systems.
