  • Patent number: 11574679
    Abstract: A memory circuit configured to perform multiply-accumulate (MAC) operations for performance of an artificial neural network includes a series of synapse cells arranged in a cross-bar array. Each cell includes a memory transistor connected in series with a memristor. The memory circuit also includes input lines connected to the source terminal of the memory transistor in each cell, output lines connected to an output terminal of the memristor in each cell, and programming lines coupled to a gate terminal of the memory transistor in each cell. The memristor of each cell is configured to store a conductance value representative of a synaptic weight of a synapse connected to a neuron in the artificial neural network, and the memory transistor of each cell is configured to store a threshold voltage representative of a synaptic importance value of the synapse connected to the neuron in the artificial neural network.

  • Patent number: 11237634
    Abstract: A closed-loop system for asynchronous brain control of at least one task includes a brain state decoder configured to decode neural signals of a user into control signals for controlling the at least one task, a task interface module configured to transmit the control signals to the at least one task, store status information including a series of messages regarding each of the at least one task, and select one message of the series of messages regarding the at least one task to transmit to the user, and a brain state encoder configured to map the one message received from the task interface module into brain state montages for transmission to the user.
