This invention relates to the field of neuromorphic computing technology and provides a method and system for dynamic adjustment of synaptic weights in real-time neurofeedback for neuromorphic chips. The method includes: capturing the pulse signals and timestamps emitted by presynaptic and postsynaptic neurons; calculating the time difference between the presynaptic and postsynaptic pulses; when the absolute value of the time difference is less than a preset time window threshold, querying a pulse timing dependency plasticity rule base based on the sign of the time difference to determine the corresponding synaptic weight adjustment type; generating corresponding voltage pulse parameters based on the adjustment type and the current conductance state of the target memristor synapse; and applying a write voltage pulse to the target memristor synapse according to the voltage pulse parameters to adjust its conductance value in situ in real time, thereby dynamically updating the synaptic weights. This invention solves the problems of poor dynamic environment adaptability, low energy efficiency, and high learning latency caused by traditional offline weight update mechanisms.
