Correction to: Nature Computational Science https://doi.org/10.1038/s43588-021-00184-y, published online 31 January 2022.

In the version of this article initially published, there was a miswording in the third sentence of the “Widening usability and access to hardware and simulators” section. The sentence has been clarified to now read: “Several open-source neuromorphic simulators have support for different hardware back ends, such as multinode CPUs, GPUs, and emerging neuromorphic hardware (for example, SpiNNaker103).” The amendment has been made in the HTML and PDF versions of the article.
