Research and Development in Self-Replicating Open-Source 3D Printing
This is a project to create a neuromorphic analogue neural network. I wanted to get away from using conventional computers (including parallel graphics processors) to do neural simulations and instead to make something that is a lot more like a
Part 1 of this sequence of blog posts is here. This post assumes that you have read that one first. Summary (TL;DR) We made a photochromic neuron, but it suffered from a problem: the photochromic material was not fully reversible,
Summary (TL;DR) This describes a working design for an optical neural-net synapse that will use photons to transmit a weighted signal to a summing optoelectronic artificial neuron. We also have a design for the neuron itself, which we will build
