Abstract

An artificial neuron integrated circuit including a polarizable circuit element having a first electrode, a second electrode, and a polarizable material layer disposed between the first and second electrodes, the polarizable material layer changeable between a first polarization state and a second polarization state, in response to receiving a number of voltage pulses across the first and second electrodes, the polarizable material layer to change from one of the first and second polarization states to the other of the first and second polarization states, where each of the number of voltage pulses individually is insufficient to change the polarization state.
