(May 13, 2015) RMIT University researchers have mimicked the way the human
brain processes information with the development of an electronic long-term
memory cell.
Researchers at the MicroNano Research Facility (MNRF) have
built the one of the world’s first electronic multi-state memory cell which
mirrors the brain’s ability to simultaneously process and store multiple
strands of information.
The development brings them closer to imitating key
electronic aspects of the human brain – a vital step towards creating a bionic
brain – which could help unlock successful treatments for common neurological
conditions such as Alzheimer’s and Parkinson’s diseases.
