Abstract:
1. A method for producing structural plasticity in a neural network, the method comprising: integrating input spikes in a neural network comprising multiple neurons interconnected with multiple corresponding noruens via an interconnect network comprising a plurality of synapse devices, each noruen comprising a symmetric dual of a neuron, wherein each noruen is interconnected via the interconnect network with those neurons that the noruen's corresponding neuron communicates with via its axon; each neuron integrating input signals arriving on its dendrite, generating a spike signal in response to the integrated input signals exceeding a threshold, and sending the spike signal to the interconnected neurons via its axon; each noruen integrating input spike signals from connected spiking neurons and generating a spiking signal in response to the integrated input spike signals exceeding a threshold.
