Spiking Control Systems: an algorithmic theory for control design of physical event-based systems
Machines compute with bits and clocks, animals compute with spikes and rhythms. The promise of neuromorphic engineering is that we could transform digital technology by imitating the spiking nature of animal computation, combining analog adaptation and digital reliability. Thirty years after Carver Mead’s initial proposal, event cameras have become a technology and neuromorphic computing has become an intense focus both in academia and in industry. Yet, we still lack a proper theory of event-based computation and event-based design. And the very nature of computing with rhythms instead of clocks is still poorly understood. We propose that the spike is a consequence of analog computing with…
