Maruan Al-Shedivat, et al., "Memristors empower spiking neurons with stochasticity." IEEE journal on Emerging and Selected Topics in Circuits and Systems 5 (2), 2015, 242. Abstract: Recent theoretical studies have shown that probabilistic spiking can be interpreted as learning and inference in cortical microcircuits. This interpretation creates new opportunities for building neuromorphic systems driven by probabilistic learning algorithms. However, such systems must have two crucial features: 1) the neurons should follow a specific behavioral model, and 2) stochastic spiking should be
