Pavlovian reflex in colloids

Emerging Technologies 2022-11-15 v1

Abstract

Pavlovian reflex is an essential mechanism of nervous systems of living beings which allows them to learn. Liquid colloid computing devices offer a high degree of fault-tolerance, reconfigurability and plasticity. As a first step towards designing and prototyping colloidal neuromorphic computing systems we decided to evaluate if it is possible to implement Pavlovian reflexes. We equate an increase of a synaptic weight with decreased resistance. In laboratory experiments we demonstrated that it is possible to implement Pavlovian learning using just two volumes of colloid liquid.
