A team of researchers from the University of Sydney and Japan’s National Institute for Material Science have demonstrated that they can utilize a random network of nanowires to mimic the structure as well as the dynamics of the brain to solve simple tasks involving processing.

Deep neural networks already resemble one aspect of the brain that is a highly interconnected network of neurons. However, artificial neurons behave in a very different manner as compared to biological ones since they only perform computations. In the human brain, neurons can also remember their previous activity, which dramatically influences their future behavior. The in-built memory is an essential aspect of how the brain processes information. A significant strand in neuromorphic engineering focuses on trying to recreate this functionality.
