| The biological processes of neurons and their [[synapse]]s are dauntingly complex, and thus very difficult to artificially simulate. A key feature of biological brains is that all of the processing in neurons use analog chemical signals. This makes it hard to replicate brains in computers because the current generation of computers is completely digital. However, the characteristics of these parts can be abstracted into mathematical functions that closely capture the essence of the neuron's operations. | | The biological processes of neurons and their [[synapse]]s are dauntingly complex, and thus very difficult to artificially simulate.

| The goal of neuromorphic computing is not to perfectly mimic the brain and all of its functions, but instead to extract what is known of its structure and operations to be used in a practical computing system. No neuromorphic system will claim nor attempt to reproduce every element of neurons and synapses, but all adhere to the idea that computation is highly [[distributed processing|distributed]] throughout a series of small computing elements analogous to a neuron.

− | 神经形态计算的目标不是完美地模拟大脑及其所有功能,而是提取已知的大脑结构和操作,用于实际的计算系统。没有哪个神经形态学系统会声称或试图复制神经元和突触的每一个元素,但所有人都坚持这样的观点,即计算是高度分布在一系列类似于神经元的小型计算元素中的。虽然这种情绪是标准的,但研究人员用不同的方法追求这一目标。

| Skeptics have argued that there is no way to apply the electronic personhood, the concept of personhood that would apply to neuromorphic technology, legally. In a letter signed by 285 experts in law, robotics, medicine, and ethics opposing a European Commission proposal to recognize “smart robots” as legal persons, the authors write, “A legal status for a robot can’t derive from the [[Natural person|Natural Person]] model, since the robot would then hold [[human rights]], such as the right to dignity, the right to its integrity, the right to remuneration or the right to citizenship, thus directly confronting the Human rights.
