Design and Hardware Implementation of Memristor-Based Multilayer Perceptron Network for a Bidirectional Adaptive Neural Interface

Here we present the current results of our crossdisciplinary group in the field of design and hardware implementation of an artificial neural network based on memristors (ANNM), which is a component of a bidirectional adaptive neural interface for automatic registration and stimulation of bioelectrical activity of a living neuronal culture. Building bidirectional biointerfaces is one of the key challenges of modern engineering and medicine, with dramatic potential impact on bioprosthetics. In this manner we place a key stepping stone towards building self-adjusting, low-power biointerfaces, themselves a foundational stepping stone towards adaptable, low-power bioprostheses.
