SpiNNaker is a massively parallel distributed architecture primarily focused on real time
simulation of spiking neural networks. The largest realization of the architecture consists of …

Introduction Great knowledge was gained about the computational substrate of the brain, but
the way in which components and entities interact to perform information processing still …

The structural organization of cortical areas is not random, with topographic maps
commonplace in sensory processing centers. This topographical organization allows …

Simulations are a powerful tool to explore the design space of hardware systems, offering
the flexibility to analyze different designs by simply changing parameters within the simulator …

Abstract Model building is a fundamental scientific tool. Increasingly there is interest in
building neurally-implemented models of cognitive processes with the intention of modelling …

From a computational perspective much can be learned from studying the brain. For auditory
processing three biological attributes are presented as being responsible for good hearing …
