Kurzweil : "An artificial synapse for future miniaturized portable «brain-on-a-chip» devices | Ce monde à inventer ! | Scoop.it
Kurzweil 25/01/18 : "MIT engineers have designed a new artificial synapse made from silicon germanium that can precisely control the strength of an electric current flowing across it. In simulations, the researchers found that the chip and its synapses could be used to recognize samples of handwriting with 95 percent accuracy. The engineers say the new design -published in the journal Nature Materials-, is a major step toward building portable, low-power neuromorphic chips for use in pattern recognition and other machine-learning tasks. Controlling the flow of ions : the challenge Researchers in the emerging field of “neuromorphic computing” have attempted to design computer chips that work like the human brain...
