Abstract:The beneficial role of noise in the binary spike time dependent plasticity (STDP) learning rule, when implemented with memristors, is experimentally analyzed. The two memristor conductance states, which emulate the neuron synapse in neuromorphic architectures, can be better distinguished if a gaussian noise is added to the bias. The addition of noise allows to reach memristor conductances which are proportional to the overlap between pre-and post-synaptic pulses.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
