Scientist are building a “neural” computer that will work similar to the brain, but at a smaller scale.

The first effort is a network of 300 artificial neurons and half a million “synapses” on a single chip.

Even though the human brain is often compared to a computer, it differs in three very important ways: it consumes very little power, it works well even if components fail, and it seems to work without any software. So how does it do it?
