By combining the short-term memory with the logic concepts of Fig. 5, a pulsed-logic system can be created which uses energy only rarely. A and B signals are asynchronous and the logic output is only valid for a single spike after the READ neuron fires.

Most neocortex neural firing consists of apparently random individual spikes averaging as little as once every 6 seconds. The question arises: How can a system of seemingly random individual spikes represent useful information and lead to the general intelligence exhibited by the human brain? Nearly all artificial neural networks represent informat...

... variant of the circuits from Fig. 5 is shown in Fig. 8 which can perform the functions of logical gates with much lower energy requirements. The short-term memory at the input means that A and B inputs can arrive asynchronously. When the READ neuron fires, the various outputs will emit a single spike (or not as appropriate). At all other times, no neurons ...
