Indeed. So it might actually be possible to emulate a human brain in hardware rather sooner than we might have thought. Memristors are also memory devices, with access times on the order of modern RAM, and a small multiple of 86 gigabytes is not a huge amount of storage these days. So imagine a 1 billion "neuristor" processor backed by a few hundred GB of memristor storage and operating in a sort of time-shared fashion (load a "brain component" into the neuristor configuration, interface with the memory for a while, then move on to the next component and so forth).
