We have a lot of result to back it up, as I mention in my comment on the article [1]. However, Turing machines and spiking neural nets have different goals. Spiking neural nets are distributed, analog/continuous, asynchronous and approximate. Turing machines are usually individual and with discrete state. I discuss this further in the blog post I link to in my comment. [1] https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=14084846 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=14084846
