New paper on Nature Communications: Neuromorphic dendritic architecture with RRAM for efficient temporal processing with delays
An article in Nature Communications published by the Institute of Neuroinformatic, UZH/ETH Zurich (Filippo Moro, Tristan Torchet, Yiğit Demirağ, Giacomo Indiveri and Melika Payvand) and CEA-LETI in France features DenRAM, the first hardware realization of spiking neural network with dendritic architecture. It utilizes memristive devices to implement both delay and weight parameters, enhancing low-power signal processing with reduced memory use.
