Abstract
Spiking Neural Networks (SNNs) seems to be now the best way to model and simulate brain structures and functions. SNNs give also possibilities to better understanding of mechanism that are responsible for consciousness and abstract thinking. Furthermore they can also change our look on information processing and modern computing. Most common software implementations need great computing power and because of that they are not suitable for real time applications. Additionally, biological neurons process information in parallel which is impossible with simulation on conventional computer. Thus we present alternative way to implement models of SNNs incorporating FPGAs. In this paper we compared most common models that are used to implement SNNs in reconfigurable hardware and also we made review of recent works that were done in this subject.
