Abstract :
Experiments have been made with a simple device consisting of two asymmetrically insulated electrodes separated by a thin electrolytic layer. This device has been found to exhibit a wide variety of transient potentials similar to those transmitted by biological synapses, thus suggesting the possibility of constructing a network of similar devices which simulates the behaviour of a biological neural network
