Simon Brown’s group (Physics) has been working for several years in the field of neuromorphic computation, where the aim is to perform computation in hardware rather than in software as is usual in AI. They recently demonstrated several kinds of brain-like computation:
- Boolean logic:

- probabilistic computing / integer factorisation: https://doi.org/10.1021/acsnano.4c07200
- reservoir computing in experiments / speech recognition: https://doi.org/10.1002/adma.202402319
- 2D reservoir computing / swarming: https://iopscience.iop.org/article/10.1088/2634-4386/ad7314
