During the past two decades, a number of two-terminal switching devices have been demonstrated in the literature. They typically exhibit hysteric behavior in the current-to-voltage characteristics. These devices have often been also referred to as memristive devices. Their capacity to switch and exhibit electrical hysteresis has made them well-suited for applications such as data storage, in-memory computing, and in-sensor computing or in-memory sensing. The aim of this perspective paper is to is twofold. Firstly, it seeks to provide a comprehensive examination of the existing research findings in the field and engage in a critical discussion regarding the potential for the development of new non-Von-Neumann computing machines that can seamlessly integrate sensing and computing within memory units. Secondly, this paper aims to demonstrate the practical application of such an innovative approach in the realm of cancer medicine. Specifically, it explores the modern concept of employing multiple cancer markers simultaneously to enhance the efficiency of diagnostic processes in cancer medicine.

GaO-Based Optoelectronic Memristor and Memcapacitor Synapse for In-Memory Sensing and Computing Applications.

Nanomaterials (Basel)

December 2024

Department of IT & Semiconductor Convergence Engineering, Tech University of Korea, Siheung 15073, Republic of Korea.

This study presents the fabrication and characterization of a dual-functional Pt/GaO/Pt optoelectronic synaptic device, capable of operating as both a memristor and a memcapacitor. We detail the optimized radio frequency (RF) sputtering parameters, including a base pressure of 8.7 × 10 Torr, RF power of 100 W, working pressure of 3 mTorr, and the use of high-purity GaO and Pt targets.

The function(s) of consciousness: an evolutionary perspective.

Front Psychol

November 2024

Biology Department, University of Victoria, Victoria, BC, Canada.

The functions of consciousness, viewed from an evolutionary standpoint, can be categorized as being either general or particular. There are two general functions, meaning those that do not depend on the particulars of how consciousness influences behavior or how and why it first evolved: of (1) expanding the behavioral repertoire of the individual through the gradual accumulation of neurocircuitry innovations incorporating consciousness that would not exist without it, and (2) reducing the time scale over which preprogrammed behaviors can be altered, from evolutionary time, across generations, to real-time. But neither answers Velmans' question, of why consciousness is adaptive in a proximate sense, and hence why it would have evolved, which depends on identifying the particular function it first performed.

Charge-trap synaptic device with polycrystalline silicon channel for low power in-memory computing.

Sci Rep

November 2024

Division of Electronic and Semiconductor Engineering, Ewha Womans University, Seoul, 03760, Republic of Korea.

Processing-in-memory (PIM) is gaining tremendous research and commercial interest because of its potential to replace the von Neumann bottleneck in current computing architectures. In this study, we implemented a PIM hardware architecture (circuit) based on the charge-trap flash (CTF) as a synaptic device. The PIM circuit with a CT memory performed exceedingly well by reducing the inference energy in the synapse array.

Noise schemas aid hearing in noise.

Human hearing is robust to noise, but the basis of this robustness is poorly understood. Several lines of evidence are consistent with the idea that the auditory system adapts to sound components that are stable over time, potentially achieving noise robustness by suppressing noise-like signals. Yet background noise often provides behaviorally relevant information about the environment and thus seems unlikely to be completely discarded by the auditory system.

The salience of an agency experience influences its ability to improve memory.

Psychol Res

November 2024

Department of Psychology, National University of Singapore, 9 Arts Link, Singapore, 117570, Singapore.

Previous work reported that having a strong sense of agency can enhance memory for acted-upon items: Memory enhancement is evident when there is a strong sense of agency, but not when there is only a weak sense of agency. However, because of the way trials are distributed across conditions in typical studies, it is often the case that a strong sense of agency may also be very salient because it is experienced only infrequently within the context of the experiment. In this study, we examined the importance of salience in determining the memory enhancement potential of a sense of agency.
