Abstract
The visual system is the most important in the biological neurosensory system, so simulation of the biological visual system is the key for developing artificial nervous system. This work incorporates a CdSe quantum dot layer into silk fibroin based memristor device, endowing the devices with light-responsive capability. Furthermore, interesting phenomena were observed when the device operated as artificial synapses: excessive voltage stimulation led to a reduction in synaptic weight compared to the responses observed under normal electrical stimulation. This behavior mirrors sensations associated with pain, neuroprotection, and potential injuries to the neural system. At the end, we designed a visual perception system, simulating processes of the biological light intensity perception and the visual degradation response under intense light stimulation. Our research demonstrates the feasibility of constructing an artificial visual nervous system using a hardware system based on memristors.
期刊介绍:
Applied Physics Letters (APL) features concise, up-to-date reports on significant new findings in applied physics. Emphasizing rapid dissemination of key data and new physical insights, APL offers prompt publication of new experimental and theoretical papers reporting applications of physics phenomena to all branches of science, engineering, and modern technology.
In addition to regular articles, the journal also publishes invited Fast Track, Perspectives, and in-depth Editorials which report on cutting-edge areas in applied physics.
APL Perspectives are forward-looking invited letters which highlight recent developments or discoveries. Emphasis is placed on very recent developments, potentially disruptive technologies, open questions and possible solutions. They also include a mini-roadmap detailing where the community should direct efforts in order for the phenomena to be viable for application and the challenges associated with meeting that performance threshold. Perspectives are characterized by personal viewpoints and opinions of recognized experts in the field.
Fast Track articles are invited original research articles that report results that are particularly novel and important or provide a significant advancement in an emerging field. Because of the urgency and scientific importance of the work, the peer review process is accelerated. If, during the review process, it becomes apparent that the paper does not meet the Fast Track criterion, it is returned to a normal track.
