Build brains, not just nets. Master Spiking Neural Networks (SNNs) and event-based processing that mimics biological neurons.
Standard AI is power-hungry; brains are efficient. Neuromorphic computing mimics the brain's biological structure. This course introduces Spiking Neural Networks (SNNs) where timing matters. You will learn to use frameworks like Loihi or SpiNNaker (via simulation) to build event-driven AI. We cover the difference between ANN and SNN, encoding data as spikes, and the energy efficiency benefits for edge robotics and sensory processing.
