KNOWM memristors in a bridge synapse delay-based reservoir computing system for detection of epileptic seizures
To address the need for real-time, low-power epileptic seizure detection, this work proposes a novel memristor-based bridge synaptic delayed reservoir computing architecture using KNOWM memristors. The method integrates four KNOWM memristors with a differential amplifier to construct a single-node echo state machine (SNESM) as a physical reservoir, leveraging feedback loops to perform nonlinear temporal transformation and disentangle complexity features from raw EEG signals. This represents the first hardware implementation of a memristive bridge synaptic structure for delayed reservoir computing, significantly enhancing discriminability among complexity metrics across distinct epileptic states. Experimental results demonstrate reduced inter-feature correlation and improved class separability in the transformed signal space compared to raw EEG, leading to markedly higher seizure detection accuracy. The approach establishes a new paradigm for neuromorphic edge-intelligent healthcare systems.
