Check out Carver Mead. I believe that he was one of the first to write about implementing NNs in hardware. You'll find a lot of hits for him on Google. Don't remember the name of the book off the top of my head. You can also check out the papers section of my lab for more refs. http://gozer.cs.wright.edu.

Not entirely true. A lot of people simulate neural nets on computers because its cheaper and easier. But my lab, and a lot of other people implement them in hardware for speed and compactness. NN hardware implementations have been in the literature for a long time.
