View source for Bio-inspired computing

'''Bio-inspired computing''', short for '''biologically inspired computing''', is a field of study that loosely knits together subfields related to the topics of connectionism, social behavior and [[emergence]].

== Description ==

It is often closely related to the field of [[artificial intelligence]], as many of its pursuits can be linked to [[machine learning]].

It relies heavily on the fields of [[biology]], [[computer science]] and [[mathematics]].

It is the use of computers to model the living phenomena, and simultaneously the study of life to improve the usage of computers. 

Biologically inspired computing is a major subset of [[natural computation]].
