Artificial Chemical Systems Capable of Mimicking Some Elementary Properties of Neurons
Abstract
We describe the photochemical behavior of aqueous solutions containing the Co(CN) 6 3 - complex ion and the trans -chalcone form Ct of the 4‘-methoxyflavylium ion ( A H + ). It is shown that, under the experimental conditions used, the photochemical reaction leading from Ct to A H + shows an off − on − off behavior upon excitation with a continuous light source or with successive light flashes. The described systems perform as threshold devices and as XOR (eXclusive OR) logic gates. They behave as rudimental artificial neuron-like systems in the sense that their outputs (formation of the A H + species, with a consequent change in the spectroscopic properties) are the result of an elaboration of two distinct (light) inputs by chemical reactions in solution.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
