neuristor
/nɜːrɪˈstɔr, -stɔːr/Definitions
1. noun
A hypothetical or theoretical concept representing a unit of information that can be encoded and transmitted through a neural network, similar to a bit in a digital computer.
“The researchers proposed a new neuristor-based model to improve the efficiency of neural network computations.”
2. noun
A hypothetical neural element or component that can store and process information in a way that is similar to a digital transistor, but uses biological or artificial neural signals instead of electrical currents.
“The discovery of neuristors has opened up new possibilities for the development of neuromorphic computing devices.”
