Mimicking neural plasticity Researchers from Korea Advanced Institute of Science and Technology (KAIST) developed a frequency switching neuristor device that mimics the intrinsic plasticity of neurons. The device can autonomously adjust the frequency of its signals, similar to the way the brain becomes less startled by repeated stimuli or becomes increasingly sensitive through training. The... » read more
