"mimics neuron Compute-in-Memory: digital logic more accurate but uses more energy than analog... versatile platforms switching between traditional/ neuro-inspired networks based on application... only communicates (sends spike) when electrical charge (membrane potential) reaches threshold... responds to irregular/ occasional events (sparse signals) enabling AI to operate onboard device (like drone), outside large data centers/ cloud... event-Based cameras send data only when pixel change detected"
