Alan Turing, famous for developing his algorithmic approach to computation, also explored the possibility of computing in complex, unorganized assemblies of logic gates. On page 286 , a hardware‐based, neuromorphic electronic device built by Adam Stieg and co‐workers exhibits features similar to the electrical activity of biological brains and neuron assemblies using a complex network of self‐assembled atomic switches.
