A neuromorphic chip is an analog data processor inspired by the biological brain. The word neuromorphic itself derives from the words neuro, which means "relating to nerves or the nervous system," and morphic, which means "having the shape, form or structure." This concept of design allows these chips to interpret sensory data and respond in ways that are not specifically programmed. Stemming from the field of neuromorphic engineering, researchers apply biology and physics to mathematics, computer science and electronic engineering to create technology that mimics an artificial neural network (ANN). The concept of a neuromorphic computing chip was coined by Carver Mead in the 1980’s and has sparked research and interest from universities and companies such as Intel, IBM, and Qualcomm. https://whatis.techtarget.com/definition/neuromorphic-chip
