OpenNeuromorphic

A discontinued neuromorphic computing framework for simulating biological neural networks in open-source environments.

Project Overview

Background

Launched in 2021, OpenNeuromorphic aimed to bridge academic research and open-source development in neuromorphic engineering. The project focused on creating a simulation framework for spiking neural networks that could run efficiently on standard hardware while maintaining biological accuracy.

Key Objectives

  • • Enable simulation of large-scale neural networks with realistic spiking behavior
  • • Provide open educational resources for neuromorphic research
  • • Support cross-platform compatibility for academic and industry use
  • • Facilitate hardware-accelerated neuromorphic simulations
