From my understanding, the chip is geared towards implementing neural networks with low power consumption, which makes using spikes a reasonable design choice. So one can argue that using spikes is not about biological accuracy, but power

What LeCun is missing is that the IBM chip was designed to be ultra low power (63mW to do pattern recognition on a real time video). One of the novel techniques this chip uses to achieve low power is to use spikes to send information betwe
