Summary:
This paper provides an overview of the recent development of our noise-driven electrical circuits and devices whose architectures were inspired by biological nervous systems. Noises are inevitable under natural environment, however, one usually tries to ``attenuate" noises and fluctuations on semiconductor circuits and devices by using, for example, special shielding equipments, precise fabrication process, special layout or circuit techniques, and so on. On the other hand, biological systems certainly ``exploit" noises to increase performances on neural computation. In this paper, some examples of noise-driven neural computing on semiconductor circuits and devices are presented, which may show what noise-driven circuits and systems can do now, and what they may do in the future.
