Abstract:
Methods, systems, and devices for mimicking neuro-biological architectures that may be present in a nervous system are described herein. A memory device may include a memory unit configured to store a value. A memory unit may include a first memory cell (e.g., an aggressor memory cell) and a plurality of other memory cells (e.g., victim memory cells). The memory unit may use thermal disturbances of the victim memory cells that may be based on an access operation to store the analog value. Thermal energy output by the aggressor memory cell during an access operation (e.g., a write operation) may cause the state of the victim memory cells to alter based on thermal relationship between the aggressor memory cell and at least some of the victim memory cells. The memory unit may be read by detecting and combining the weights of the victim memory cells during a read operation.

Claim (Index 24):
A method, comprising:\n selecting at least one memory cell of a neural memory unit for a read operation, the neural memory unit comprising a primary memory cell and a plurality of secondary memory cells thermally coupled with the primary memory cell; biasing one or more word lines coupled with the neural memory unit based at least in part on selecting the at least one memory cell; detecting one or more signals generated on one or more digit lines coupled with the neural memory unit based at least in part on biasing the one or more word lines; and determining an analog value stored by the neural memory unit based at least in part on detecting the one or more signals generated on the one or more digit lines.
