In hardware neuromorphic systems (NSs), memristors are used as synaptic connections. In such systems, spike‐timing‐dependent plasticity (STDP) is a promising local learning rule. Herein, STDP is studied in a system composed of a pair of hardware or software neurons connected by a (CoFeB)x(LiNbO3)100−x nanocomposite‐based memristor. The dopamine‐like modulation of memristor‐based STDP is implemented simply by the change in the polarity of spikes generated by artificial neurons operating in the inhibitory or excitatory mode. This modulation method is shown to be compatible with hardware neurons, different spike shapes, and is used in spiking NSs with bioinspired dopamine‐like reinforcement learning.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
