KAIST Develops Semiconductor Neuron That Tunes Noise to Selectively Process Signals

Caption

Figure 1. Comparison of biological neurons and memristor-based probabilistic neurons

Biological sensory neurons exhibit variable firing responses to the same stimulus because their ion channels open and close stochastically. Similarly, the memristor-based probabilistic neuron converts current noise into stochastic spikes. By adjusting the resistance state of the memristor, its firing characteristics and input response range can be reconfigured.
