Chip mimics brain synapse
MIT researchers have fabricated a computer chip that uses 400 transistors to mimic the activity of a single brain synapse, the junction between neurons. The device is a step toward in silico simulation of plasticity, the ability of neurons to adapt based on new input. From MIT News: While most chips operate in a binary, [...]Original Link: http://feeds.boingboing.net/~r/boingboing/iBag/~3/MEQwAPT1iEI/chip-mimics-brain-synapse.html
