This roadmap cites Carver Mead's original plea to truly emulate biology with analog rather than merely simulate with digital. By emulating the continuous analog functions of the human nervous system, rather than just simulate them with step-time digital functions, you not only save power, but realize synergy among neuromorphic subsystems that cannot be simulated with digital circuitry alone: R.
