This study introduces a simple memristor cellular neural network structure, a minimalist configuration with only two cells, designed to concurrently address two logic problems. The unique attribute of this system lies in its adaptability, where the nature of the implemented logic gate, be it AND, OR, and XOR, is determined exclusively by the initial states of the memristors. The memristors' state, alterable through current flow, allows for dynamic manipulation, enabling the setting of initial conditions and consequently, a change in the circuit's functionality. To optimize the parameters of this dynamic system, contemporary machine learning techniques are employed, specifically gradient descent optimization. Through a case study, the potential of leveraging intricate circuit dynamics is exemplified to expand the spectrum of problems solvable with a defined number of neurons. This work not only underscores the significance of adaptability in logical circuits but also demonstrates the efficacy of memristive elements in enhancing problem‐solving capabilities.

NONVOLATILE random-access memory , *TRANSIENTS (Dynamics) , *RADIO transmitter fading , *NONLINEAR oscillators - Abstract
A nonlinear system, exhibiting a unique asymptotic behaviour, while being continuously subject to a stimulus from a certain class, is said to suffer from fading memory. This interesting phenomenon was first uncovered in a non-volatile tantalum oxide-based memristor from Hewlett Packard Labs back in 2016 out of a deep numerical investigation of a predictive mathematical description, known as the Strachan model, later corroborated by experimental validation. It was then found out that fading memory is ubiquitous in non-volatile resistance switching memories. A nonlinear system may however also exhibit a local form of fading memory, in case, under an excitation from a given family, it may approach one of a number of distinct attractors, depending upon the initial condition. A recent bifurcation study of the Strachan model revealed how, under specific train stimuli, composed of two square pulses of opposite polarity per cycle, the simplest form of local fading memory affects the transient dynamics of the aforementioned Resistive Random Access Memory cell, which, would asymptotically act as a bistable oscillator. In this manuscript we propose an analytical methodology, based on the application of analysis tools from Nonlinear System Theory to the Strachan model, to craft the properties of a generalised pulse train stimulus in such a way to induce the emergence of complex local fading memory effects in the nano-device, which would consequently display an interesting tuneable multistable oscillatory response, around desired resistance states. The last part of the manuscript discusses a case study, shedding light on a potential application of the local history erase effects, induced in the device via pulse train stimulation, for compensating the unwanted yet unavoidable drifts in its resistance state under power off conditions.

SUMMARY A number of resistive switching memories exhibit activation-based dynamical behavior, which makes them suitable for neuromorphic and programmable analog filtering applications. Because the Boundary Condition Memristor (BCM) model accounts for tunable activation thresholds only at the on and off boundary states, it is not quantitatively accurate in the description of these kinds of memristors and in the investigation of their circuit applications. This paper introduces the Generalized Boundary Condition Memristor (GBCM) model, preserving the features of the BCM model while allowing, further, an ad-hoc tuning of activation-based dynamics, which enables an appropriate modulation of the conditions under which memristors may operate as storage elements or data processors. A simple circuit implementation of the novel model is presented, and time-efficient simulations confirming the improvement in modeling accuracy over the BCM model are shown. As a proof-of-concept for the suitability of the GBCM model in the exploration of the full potential of memristors in neuromorphic circuits and programmable analog filters, this paper adopts it to model fundamental synaptic rules governing the mechanisms of learning in neural systems and to gain some insight into key issues in the design of a couple of filters.

In this paper, we propose a whole class of memristor circuits. Each element from the class consists of the cascade connection between a static nonlinear two-port and a dynamic one-port. The class may be divided into two subclasses depending on the input variable (voltage or current). Within each of these subclasses, two further sets of memristor circuits may be distinguished according to which output voltage and current of the two-port represents one of the system states. The simplest memristor circuits make only use of purely passive elementary components from circuit theory, an absolute novelty in this field of research. Thus they are suitable circuit primers for the introduction of the topic of memristors to undergraduate students. A sample circuit is built using discrete devices and its memristive nature is validated experimentally. In case the one-port is purely passive, the proposed circuits feature volatile memristive behavior. Allowing active devices into the dynamic one-port, non-volatile dynamics may also emerge, as proved through concepts from the theory of nonlinear dynamics. Given the generality of the proposed class, the topology of the emulators may be adjusted so as to induce a large variety of dynamical behaviors, which may be exploited to accomplish new signal processing tasks, which conventional circuits are unable to perform.

• Epileptic seizure prediction still suffers from low specificity. • Different algorithms show a strong correlation in false predictions. • To improve the prediction a change in the underlying hypothesis is necessary. Seizure forecasting using machine learning is possible, but the performance is far from ideal, as indicated by many false predictions and low specificity. Here, we examine false and missing alarms of two algorithms on long-term datasets to show that the limitations are less related to classifiers or features, but rather to intrinsic changes in the data. We evaluated two algorithms on three datasets by computing the correlation of false predictions and estimating the information transfer between both classification methods. For 9 out of 12 individuals both methods showed a performance better than chance. For all individuals we observed a positive correlation in predictions. For individuals with strong correlation in false predictions we were able to boost the performance of one method by excluding test samples based on the results of the second method. Substantially different algorithms exhibit a highly consistent performance and a strong coherency in false and missing alarms. Hence, changing the underlying hypothesis of a preictal state of fixed time length prior to each seizure to a proictal state is more helpful than further optimizing classifiers. The outcome is significant for the evaluation of seizure prediction algorithms on continuous data. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

In this paper we show that the Cellular Nonlinear Network Universal Machine (CNN-UM) is an excellent tool for analyzing time series of multidimensional binary signals. The developed algorithm is dedicated to process electrophysiological multi-neuron recordings: our aim is to find specific multidimensional activity patterns, which may reflect higher order functional cell-assemblies. The analysis consists of two parts: first, the occurrences of different patterns are counted, then the statistical significance of each occurrence frequency is calculated separately.

HYSTERESIS loop , *ELECTRIC potential , *MEMRISTORS , *CONCRETE , *ELECTRONIC equipment - Abstract
A special subset of two-terminal elements providing pinched hysteresis loops in the voltage-current plane with the lobe area increasing with the frequency is analysed. These devices are identified as non-memristive systems and the sufficient condition for their hysteresis loop to be pinched at the origin is derived. It turns out that the analysed behaviour can be observed only for just one concrete initial state of the device. This knowledge is conclusive for understanding why such devices cannot be regarded as memristors. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

According to the axiomatic definition of the memristor from 1971, its properties are unambiguously determined by the memristance versus charge (or flux) map. The original model of the 'HP memristor' introduces this map via a linear function that represents this memristor as a variable resistor whose resistance is linearly dependent on the amount of charge flowing through. However, some analog applications require nonlinear, frequently exponential or logarithmic dependence of the resistance on an external controlling variable. The memristor with nonlinear memristance versus charge map is analyzed in the paper. The results are specified for the exponential type of this nonlinearity, which may be useful for future applications. Analytic formulae of the area of the pinched hysteresis loop of such a memristor are derived for harmonic excitation. It is also shown that the current flowing through such a memristor, which is driven by a voltage of arbitrary waveform, conforms to the Abel differential equation, and its closed-form solution is found.

Abstract: We designed Adaptive Neuromorphic Architecture (ANA) that self-adjusts its inherent parameters (for instance, the resonant frequency) naturally following the stimuli frequency. Such an architecture is required for brain-like engineered systems because some parameters of the stimuli (for instance, the stimuli frequency) are not known in advance. Such adaptivity comes from a circuit element with memory, namely mem-inductor or mem-capacitor (memristor’s sisters), which is history-dependent in its behavior. As a hardware model of biological systems, ANA can be used to adaptively reproduce the observed biological phenomena in amoebae. [Copyright &y& Elsevier]

[Display omitted] • A novel way to obtain a regularization parameter for intensity-based optical flow. • Several challenges of optical flow motion estimation for infrared thermography. • Analysis and comparison of frequency-/filter- and intensity-based approaches for several infrared thermography brain image datasets. • Analyze frequency spectrum for pulse and breathing motion artifacts before and after motion correction. In neurosurgery, the patient's pulse and breathing motion, as well as technical and physiological artifacts during Infrared Thermography (IRT) acquisition cause difficulties; accordingly, a robust and adjusted motion correction method is required. In this paper, a comparison of frequency-/filter- and intensity-based approaches for the Horn-Schunck method, the Lucas-Kanade method, the OA-CLG method, the phase-based method, and FIR bandstop filter is provided. Firstly, images are registered with respect to a reference image, and image enhancement as a preprocessing step is carried out for those methods that rely on brightness constancy assumption (BCA) only. In the second step, motion estimation and compensation for local motion are applied to suppress small motion, i.e., pulse and breathing motion correction. The processing step can be done either with the frequency-/filter- or intensity-based approaches. Comparisons are performed using three types of datasets namely, the human IRT brain data (clinical cases), semi-synthetic IRT brain data, and phantom IRT data. Results from semi-synthetic and phantom IRT data indicate that the intensity-based methods are able to estimate and compensate pulse and breathing motion artifacts while preserving all the image details, structures, and spatial resolution after motion correction. The human brain datasets demonstrate that motion correction can be a beneficial step in IRT imaging during neurosurgery, obtaining better correction metric-wise in each four performance measurements.
