As such, SyNAPSE owes its existence to a number of recent game-changing developments. From HP Labs, the discovery of the memristor was one such keystone innovation. It took Greg Snider&#8217;s 2007 work in [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=neurdon.wordpress.com&amp;blog=6327242&amp;post=243&amp;subd=neurdon&amp;ref=&amp;feed=1" width="1" height="1" />]]></description>
