Article Abstract
McCulloch and Pitts hypothesized in 1943 that the brain is entirely composed of logic gates, akin to current computers' IP cores, which led to several neural analogs of Boolean logic. The current study proposes a spiking image processing unit (SIPU) based on spiking frequency gates and coordinate logic operations, as a dynamical model of synapses and spiking neurons. SIPU can imitate DSP functions like edge recognition, picture magnification, noise reduction, etc. but can be extended to cater for more advanced computing tasks. The proposed spiking Boolean logic platform can be used to develop advanced applications without relying on learning or specialized datasets. It could aid in gaining a deeper understanding of complex brain functions and spur new forms of neural analogs.

A significant advancement in synthetic biology is the development of synthetic gene circuits with predictive Boolean logic. However, there is no universally accepted or applied statistical test to analyze the performance of these circuits. Many basic statistical tests fail to capture the predicted logic (OR, AND, etc.

This paper deals with the topics of modeling joint distributions on a generalized probability space. An algebraic structure known as quantum logic is taken as the basic model. There is a brief summary of some earlier published findings concerning a function -map, which is a mathematical tool suitable for constructing virtual joint probabilities of even non-compatible propositions.

The inherent potential for self-assembly is a well-known attribute of organic dye molecules. This work takes advantage of the changes in dye photochemical and photophysical properties produced by the aggregation phenomenon, to investigate the behavior of all-optical modulation in molecular aggregates. The theoretical principles for a dual beam all-optical modulation, as well as the conception of an optical logic gate by exploring the aggregation phenomenon are discussed throughout the article.

The forward design of biosensors that implement Boolean logic to improve detection precision primarily relies on programming genetic components to control transcriptional responses. However, cell- and gene-free nanomaterials programmed with logical functions may present lower barriers for clinical translation. Here we report the design of activity-based nanosensors that implement AND-gate logic without genetic parts via bi-labile cyclic peptides.
