XOR at a Single Vertex -- Artificial Dendrites
arXiv:1004.2280
Abstract
New to neuroscience with implications for AI, the exclusive OR, or any other Boolean gate may be biologically accomplished within a single region where active dendrites merge. This is demonstrated below using dynamic circuit analysis. Medical knowledge aside, this observation points to the possibility of specially coated conductors to accomplish artificial dendrites.
