Abstract
Though artificial sensory systems based on electronic devices have been realized, further transformation of data into spikes is required for neural network optimization. Here, based on NbO x Mott memristors, the authors report artificial spiking afferent nerves for accessing spiking systems and demonstrate spiking mechanoreceptor systems.
