The implementation of spiking neural network in future neuromorphic hardware requires hardware encoder analogous to the sensory neurons. The authors show a biomimetic dual-gated MoS2 field effect transistor capable of encoding analog signals into stochastic spike trains at energy cost of 1–5 pJ/spike.
