Significant interest has been placed on developing systems based on the memristor, which was physically recognized in 2008. The memristor is a nanoscale non-volatile device with a large varying resistance range. Voltage pulses can be applied to the memristor to change its resist…
Computational processing is a critical element of modern-day life, enabling and enhancing research, industry, medical and military efforts. The continued improvements seen in processing speed and power are largely driven by the iterative scaling of transistors and other integrat…
Neural networks present a fundamentally different model of computation from the conventional sequential digital model. Dedicated hardware may thus be more suitable for executing them. Given that there is no clear consensus on the model of computation in the brain, model flexibil…
This thesis proposes a novel set of generic and compact biologically plausible VLSI (Very Large Scale Integration) neural circuits, suitable for implementing a parallel VLSI network that closely resembles the function of a small-scale neocortical network. The proposed circuits i…
