The main issue is that we're lacking one of the four fundamental circuit components: the memristor [0].
If we had a simple, throw it in a box for five years, stable memristor, we'd have everything we'd need for brain modeling. Being as a memristor is effectively a synapse.
With that, we would want to do everything in the analog domain anyways.
[0] the other three are the resistor, the capacitor, and the inductor.
- jiggawatts 3y agoWe have them now, on chips and everything.
- Balgair 3y agoWoah, where?! I can't seem to find anything on memristors being on chip or really being in solid state anything. I would love to get my hands on them!
- jiggawatts 2y agoA quick Google search will find thousands of articles. It was possible to buy memristor storage devices, but they weren't sufficiently competitive with ordinary flash memory and I believe they're relegated to niche applications such as high erase counts. AI implementations on Memristor circuitry has come up often enough that even I've heard of it. E.g.: A random recent development is https://www.nature.com/articles/s41467-024-45312-0 https://www.nature.com/articles/s41467-024-45312-0
- Balgair 2y agoI've been googling for a while on these, it's the first I've heard of it. Do you have a link at all? Not trying to troll here, I really am genuinely interested.
