Hierarchical Temporal Memory (HTM) is a machine learning algorithm that is inspired from the working principles of the neocortex, capable of learning, inference, and prediction for bit-encoded inputs. Spatial pooler is an integral part of HTM that is capable of learning and classifying visual data such as objects in images. In this paper, we propose a memristor-CMOS circuit design of spatial pooler and exploit memristors capabilities for emulating the synapses, where the strength of the weights is represented by the state of the memristor. The proposed design is validated on a challenging application of single image per person face recognition problem using AR database resulting in a recognition accuracy of 80%.
