We present a fully integrated CMOS receiver for micro-magnetic resonance imaging together with a custom-made micro-gradient system. The receiver is designed for an operating frequency of 300 MHz. The chip consists of an on-chip detection coil and tuning ca ...
Environments with varying reward contingencies constitute a challenge to many living creatures. In such conditions, animals capable of adaptation and learning derive an advantage. Recent studies suggest that neuromodulatory dynamics are a key factor in reg ...
In this paper, we present an experimental current-mode Kohonen neural network (KNN) implemented in a CMOS 0.18 μm process. The network contains four output neurons. Each neuron has three analog weights related to three inputs. The presented KNN has been re ...
Perceptual learning is the ability to modify perception through practice. As a form of brain plasticity, perceptual learning has been studied for more than thirty years in different fields including psychology, neurophysiology and computational neuroscienc ...
An initialization mechanism is presented for Kohonen neural network implemented in CMOS technology. Proper selection of initial values of neurons’ weights has a large influence on speed of the learning algorithm and finally on the quantization error of the ...
We propose a novel network model of spiking neurons, without preimposed topology and driven by STDP (Spike-Time-Dependent Plasticity), a temporal Hebbian unsupervised learning mode, based on biological observations of synaptic plasticity. The model is furt ...
In this paper a novel architecture for an integrated receiver front-end for micro magnetic resonance imaging (micro-MRI) applications is described. While the chip consumes only 9mA supply current (4mA in the LNA and 5mA in the output buffer) from a 33V pow ...

We present an active mixer based on the creation of virtual source-sink pairs in a polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS) chip. Perfect mixing is achieved in only a sub-second time interval for a compact 5 μL mixing volume. This excellent performance is achieved than ...
In this paper, we propose a new category of current-mode Łukasiewicz OR and AND logic neurons and logic networks and show their ultra low power realization. The introduced circuits can operate with very low input signals that set up the operating point of ...
Integrated single photon avalanche detectors (SPADs) are gaining interest in applications demanding high timing resolution and high sensitivity. The recent progress of design and implementation of SPADs in CMOS technology are discussed in this paper. ...
