 \chapter{Introduction}
 
-\section{What is this about?}
+\section{What is the BrainScale System?}
 
-\section{What's the PowerIt Subsystem?}
+The BrainScaleS Wafer System, developed and used in the electronic visions Group at Heidelberg University is a neuromorhic hardware implementation.
+
+For this Thesis important core components, inside the System, are the mixed-signal ASICs, named HICANNs (on Wafer in fig. \ref{wss}), and FPGAs for controlling these HICANNs \cite{hbpguidebook-brainscales}
 
-The hardware used in this thesis is a PowerIt board, developed in the electronic visions group\footnote{
-    %TODO    
-}. It functions as power supply inside of the WaferScale System\footnote{
-    %TODO
-} (fig. \ref{wss}).
