This neuromorphic stuff is super cool. I wish I could just buy some! I'm the author of spikeflow (github.com/colinator/spikeflow). I'd love to support neuromorphic hardware.

For the moment, biological neural networks (brains) are, I believe, many orders of magnitude more powerful, and especially more efficient than, current computers. But it's hard to say, because it's so hard to tease out the important parts of what the brain does, because it does so much. There are so many types of neurons, so many types of connectivity, so many interacting neurotransmitters, so many support cells that affect computation... almost like the brain is the result of a billion years of hack-upon-hack evolution...

This a very cool repository indeed! Have you compared the speed/accuracy of spikeflow with other SNN libraries like Brian2 on decent GPUs (or even TPUs)?
Thanks! No, not quite there yet. Most other libraries are much further along - mine is really an 'exercise'...
agreed, very cool repo. Are you looking for help? I have some hours of my life to devote for some cool ML stuff.
Yeah, totally! You can find me email from my github profile.
