Why Artificial Brain??
Although traditional, digital computers haveconsistently increased in speed and complexity
But limited by the von Neumann bottleneck
(sequential processing of instructions and aseparation between (CPU) & memory)
They are "a word-at-a-time" devices
One of today's most sophisticated supercomputer,IBM's Clue Gene/P, performs 83 times slower than acat's brain, but it's a massive machine with morethan 147,000 CPUs, 144 terabytes of memory and adedicated power supply.

Is it possible??
An artificial human brain is science fiction, you areprobably right for now
Neuromorphic engineering a branch totally
dedicated for development of artificial brain

What is neuromorphic engineering ??
A new interdisciplinary discipline
Includes nanotechnologies and whose goal is todesign artificial neural systems with physical
architectures similar to biological nervous systems

Challenges in Neuromorphic Engineering
A synapse is a structure that permits a neuron to pass an electrical orchemical signal to another cell.
A neuron is an electrically excitable cell that processes and transmitsinformation by electrical and chemical signaling via synapses with other
cells.
Human brain contains vastly more synapses than neurons by a factor ofabout 10,000
Hence the necessity to develop a nanoscale, low power, synapse-like
device

Artificial Synapses
Can be realized by development of a Hybridnanoparticle-organic transistor that canmimic the main functionalities of a synapse
Also MEMRISTER devices are capable ofemulating the biological synapses with properlydesigned CMOS neuron components

Memrister
A two-terminal electronic device whoseconductance can be precisely modulated by chargeor flux through it.
Has the special property that its resistance can beprogrammed (resistor) and subsequently remainsstored (memory).
Can provide interface between conventional cktsand artificial & connect conventional ckts andsupport a process that is the basis for memory andlearning in biological systems

Synapse & Memristor
The synaptic weight modulates how signals aretransmitted between neurons and can in turn beprecisely adjusted by the ionic flow through thesynapse.
A memristor by definition is a resistive device withinherent memory. It is in fact very similar to asynapse they are both two-terminal deviceswhose conductance can be modulated by external
stimuli with the ability to store (memorize) the newinformation

Fig(a) shows the concept ofusing memristors as synapsesbetween neurons.
The insets show theschematics of the two-terminal device geometry andthe layered structure of thememristor.

Fig(b) shows a neuromorphicwith CMOS neurons andmemristor synapses in acrossbar configuration.
In this setup, the siliconmemristor consists of a pairof electrodes sandwiching anamorphous-silicon layerdoped with silver atoms, withhigh silver concentration nearthe top electrode and low
silver concentration near thebottom electrode.

Memristor as a Synapse
The new conductance state is maintained until the next voltage pulse isapplied.
By controlling the silver doping profile and other device parameters,scientists were able to show that the change in the memristorconductance is proportional to the time integral of the voltage appliedacross it.
In other words, the device state is not determined by the existing signals
but by the history of the applied signals
When a positive voltage is appliedacross the memristor, silver ions inthe silicon layer will drift to thebottom electrode and increasethe overall conductance of the
device, and vice versa

Memristor as a Synapse
Furthermore, this property allows us to preciselycontrol the memristor conductance with externalstimuli the longer the voltage pulse is appliedacross the memristor the larger the conductancechange is. These properties essentially enable thememristor to mimic synaptic action.
An electrical circuit consisting of CMOS 'neurons'and memristor synapses can achieve spike-timing
dependent plasticity (STDP), an important synapticactivity.

Memristor as a Synapse
What is exciting about these results is that it showsthat memristors can behave just like synapses
These findings show that it is now possible to build
a brain-like computer using electronic components,namely, transistors and memristors.
The key is to realize the similarity betweensynapses and memristors

Applications of Neuromorphology
To build brain-like computers using Memristors
Besides the above to build high density storagememory
New approaches to build circuits may be developedso that the increase in computing power does notcome from the increase in raw device speed (clockfrequency) but comes from the increase incomputing efficiency instead
