What backs it

The human brain uses about 20 watts of power, yet reproducing even a small fraction of its capabilities with today's AI systems requires vast computing infrastructure. Neuromorphic computing attempts to close this gap by fundamentally rethinking how computers work, using event-driven computation, sparse representations, and bringing memory and processing together.
