Neuromorphic engineering is set apart by the inspiration it takes from what we know about the structure and operations of the [[brain]]. Neuromorphic engineering translates what we know about the brain's function into computer systems. Work has mostly focused on replicating the analog nature of [[biological computation]] and the role of [[neuron]]s in [[cognition]].

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.

神经元及其'''<font color="#ff8000">突触Synapse</font>'''的生理学过程极其复杂，难以进行人工模拟。神经元在所有处理过程中都使用化学模拟信号，这是大脑的一个关键生理学特征。这个特征大大增加了在计算机中复制大脑的难度，因为目前的计算机是完全数字化的。然而，部分特征可以抽象为数学函数，这些函数能够紧密捕捉神经元运行的本质。

 

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. While this sentiment is standard, researchers chase this goal with different methods.<ref>{{Cite journal | doi = 10.1088/1741-2560/13/5/051001| title = Large-scale neuromorphic computing systems| journal = Journal of Neural Engineering| volume = 13| pages = 1–15| year = 2016| last1 = Furber | first1 = Steve| issue = 5| pmid = 27529195| bibcode = 2016JNEng..13e1001F| doi-access = free}}</ref>

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. This would be in contradiction with the [[Charter of Fundamental Rights of the European Union]] and the [[Convention for the Protection of Human Rights and Fundamental Freedoms]].”<ref>{{Cite web|url=http://www.robotics-openletter.eu/|title=Robotics Openletter {{!}} Open letter to the European Commission|language=fr-FR|access-date=2019-05-10}}</ref>
