With hard drives, you can put them in a RAID 0 configuration to split data between drives to increase read and write speed. Is there an equivalent of this for RAM? If I have 16 GB of memory, for instance, can I split it into 2 8GB sections and implement striping across them? Note: I am not talking about using ramdisks at all. I am not trying to treat ram as hard drives but rather to speed it up. I have heard that there is a RAID 1 equivalent for RAM called mirroring, but I have not heard of a RAID 0 equivalent.

This is called dual-channel mode – at least in some implementations thereof (see "ganged mode" in the article).
This is why it's often better to have two 8GB sticks instead of a single 16GB stick, for example - as both 8GB sticks can use more available memory bus bandwidth.

The speeds also need to match. That's why RAM kits come in pairs, so that you just drop them in as pairs. If you mixed 8 Gb sticks, then it may lead to instability if they're at the same speed as written but have slightly different tolerances.

Yes, there's indeed an equivalent. But generally you just need to follow the instructions for your motherboard when adding RAM, and the setup will be automatic.
