Programmable Active Memories: Recon gurable Systems Come of Age

|Programmable Active Memories (PAM) are a novel form of universal recon gurable hardware co-processor. Based on Field-Programmable Gate Array (FPGA) technology, a PAM is a virtual machine, controlled by a standard microprocessor, which can be dynamically and inde nitely recongured into a large number of application-speci c circuits. PAMs o er a new mixture of hardware performance and software v...

Non-volatile memories: Organic memristors come of age.

Memristors (or memristive devices) are considered essential elements in information technology. This portmanteau formed by the combination of the words memory and resistor1 nicely highlights the operational principle of the device, which can store information as a change in electrical resistance in either digital or analogue form. Redox-based resistive switching memories (ReRAMs) are nanoionics...

Significant life events and the shape of memories to come: a hypothesis.

Much has been said about how significant life events modulate our response to stimuli that are integral to those events. However, we know less about the more general consequences of these events, that is, how they affect subsequent learning abilities that are seemingly irrelevant to the initial event. Here, it is proposed that significant life events, most often stressful in nature, alter futur...
