<human>:  Who was the first person to propose the idea of a neuromorphic computer?
<bot>: The first person to propose the idea of a neuromorphic computer was Marvin Minsky. In 1965 he proposed the idea of a "neuromorphic" computer that would mimic the way the brain works. He said that "the brain is the most complex object in the universe, and yet it can perform its marvelous feats of perception, learning, and memory by means of simple, primitive elements."
