This Brain-Inspired Plastic Chip Learns from Light and Heat Like You Do

Consider a chip that is small and flexible, one that can ‘sense’ light and warmth. More importantly, it “learns from them”, just like your brain learns from touch or sight. The new device uses a neuron-like approach, where it adapts to stimuli through learning and changes with experiences over time. The device is created using a unique soft plastic material that not only conducts electricity but also ‘mesmerizes’ in how it was stimulated. It remembers and without aid of conscious intent, forgets gradually, akin to human memory.
