Wow this article is total crap, and the brain comparison is basically absent from the paper, for good reason. Here’s what they actually did:
- grow “metallic dendrites” from the bottom up, eg make a chip with random connections with memrister-like “synapses”
- then characterize various I-V curves and other electrical properties of the device
That’s it. In terms of computation they can maybe be used for reservoir computing but then again so can many nonlinear dynamical system. But even concrete computations are not demonstrated.
