“…Alternatively, high-performance and low-power consumption hardware simulation provide valuable tools for electrophysiological applications such as in the medical and educational fields, considering their advantages of extremely fast and parallel mode execution, low power usage, reconfigurable, development ease, and low cost. One way to achieve a reduction in power consumption and size is by implementing the design using Very Large-Scale Integration (VLSI) technology [17]. For example, hardware tools that can be used for electrophysiological applications are Digital Signal Processing (DSPs), Field Programmable Gate Arrays (FPGAs), Graphical Processing Unit (GPU) and Application Specific Integrated Circuits (ASICs) [18].…”
