Organic Neuromorphic Systems

Abstract

Organic neuromorphic system (ONS) is the bridge between building organic devices and the biological nervous system. Because organic neuromorphic devices (ONDs) have the excellent flexibility, low power consumption and biocompatibility, it can be predicted that this field will be a very promising direction for future development. Firstly, this chapter introduces the synaptic functions of ONDs. Next, we introduce five different working mechanisms of two-terminal ONDs and four different structures of three-terminal ONDs. Then, we describe how individual devices can be composed of multiple-input and multiple-output structures, which are of great significance for modeling the structure of nerve cells. Finally, we conclude the application of ONDs in intellisense, neuromorphic chip and flexible e-skin, and provide a summary and outlook for the development of ONS.
