Research activity in electronic neural networks has exploded in the last few years. This talk will present an overview of the field and a critical assessment. Electronic neural networks are electronic circuits or computer programs loosely based on biophysical models of neural function that seek to capture the strengths of biological information processing. 

Key features of this kind of processing are massively-parallel, low-precision addition and multiplication, and a high level of interconnectivity between processing elements or "electronic neurons".
