Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) has developed a chip that functions as a human brain synapse. The silicon processor, includes 400 transistors can be a key element for the creation of artificial intelligence systems. The synapse plays the role of conduit for information between a pair of neurons, and its feature is the ability to adapt to different types of information that pass through it. In microbiology, this phenomenon is called plasticity, is it plays a key role in the learning process of the brain.
Software simulation of the synapse, which in the human brain is more than 100 billion, a rather difficult task even for today's computer performance. Transistors sate changes continuously due to the difference of electric potentials, causes electrons move within the transistor. Thus, the electrons moving in transistors and between model ions moving through ion channels in nerve cells. Related Products :
