Memristors as synapse emulators in the context of event-based computation
This paper examines the widespread Biolek and Pershin models of the memristor in order to find out whether they support STDP in an event-based computation environment. We find that they generally do not and proceed to examine a new model that does support this feature. Finally, we show data from physical devices confirming that the real devices do show the capability for STDP when driven by event-type signals. This is expected to impact the neuromorphic engineering community most, where well-behaved, practical synapse emulators are constantly sought.

Abstract
This paper examines the widespread Biolek and Pershin models of the memristor in order to find out whether they support STDP in an event-based computation environment. We find that they generally do not and proceed to examine a new model that does support this feature. Finally, we show data from physical devices confirming that the real devices do show the capability for STDP when driven by event-type signals. This is expected to impact the neuromorphic engineering community most, where well-behaved, practical synapse emulators are constantly sought.
