Programmable polyaniline nano neural network. A simple physical model

Abstract

Here we report a working physical model of a programmable neural nanonetwork based on a nanostructured conductive polymer - polyaniline. The device can be programmed owing to controlled growth of nanowires, a method developed in our laboratory. The response (output signal) of the network depends on the activated input line, but also on the amplitude of the input signals. The system is able to analyze multiple input signals in parallel and in real time. This is still considered as a challenge.
