Does the D.C. response of memristors allow robotic short-term memory and a possible route to artificial time perception? (2013)
Presentation / Conference
Gale, E., de Lacy Costello, B., & Adamatzky, A. (2013, May). Does the D.C. response of memristors allow robotic short-term memory and a possible route to artificial time perception?. Paper presented at Workshop Unconventional Approaches to Robotics, Automation and Control Inspired by Nature (UARACIN) in:, Karlsruhe

Time perception is essential for task switching, and in the mammalian brain appears alongside other processes. Memristors are electronic components used as synapses and as models for neurons. The d.c. response of memristors can be considered as a typ...
