Am I the only one thinking about what these mem-whatevers might do for analog circuit design? And neurons?
What goes on in a neuron is a mix of analog computation (summing multiple inputs over time) and essentially digital output (spike down the axon). I know there's been a move to implement some of that neuronal computation into analog circuits, send the output to digital - and these devices having short-term memory might be an appropriate match. Just sayin'.
