I have it. I know all about his work. I have read literally hundreds of
neuromorphic chip papers. It is not relevant. Carver Mead made a model of
ion channel currents using subthreshold transistors to do the math. The
model is an analog computer that computes a property of brain signalling:
the transmembrane potential. It does not replicate brain physics. It is
theoretical science. Brain physics gone. Modelling. I explain exactly how
this is being mistaken for physics replication. I illustrated this in
fine-grained detail in the article. It is not what the neuromimetic chip
does. Neuromorphic chips do not do replication of brain physics. They do
not impress the natural electromagnetism that the brain uses.

See section 2.3 and 3 in the paper. An entire huge computational study
demonstrates specifically the difference between the neuromorphic chip and
the neuromimetic chip.

I will not be bothering these people because their work is irrelevant. They
would just be annoyed.

cheers
