• Resumen

  • Venema explains how chips that multitask like the brain and simultaneously stores and processes information, will soon deliver a computing revolution. Three key features needed to mimic what brain does include first, it consists of a vast network of neurons with lots of connections called synapses, second, those connections have synaptic plasticity, that is, they can be made stronger or weaker an the third feature is called spike-time-dependent plasticity. Also noted the creation of memristor by Leon Chua, an electrical engineer at the University of California, Berkeley to look at the equations connecting the basic circuit components students learn about - the resistor, capacitor and inductor
