Abstract :
Bayesian integration is thought to be used by the brain for optimal decision-making based on information from different sources. Recent evidence indicates that the hippocampal place cells use this mechanism to integrate information at the level of a single cell as opposed to that at the network level as postulated earlier. Therefore a synapse circuit is proposed, which can perform Bayesian integration on three inputs and present results from its implementation in silicon.
