Advanced Memory and Neural Computing
Advanced Memory and Neural Computing is a research topic within Electrical and Electronic Engineering. Science Explorer counts 60k research works in it since 1950. 21.8% of them reached the world's top 10% most cited for their field and year.
This cluster of papers focuses on the development and application of memristive devices for neuromorphic computing, with an emphasis on resistive switching, spiking neurons, synaptic plasticity, and non-volatile memory. The research explores the potential of memristors in emulating biological synapses and enabling brain-inspired computing.
