Temporal Processing in Artificial Dendritic Tree Neuromorphs
نویسندگان
چکیده
The artificial dendritic tree, as part of a silicon neuromorph, is modelled as a multibranched, passive cable structure. Synaptic activations are either depolarizing (excitatory), hyperpolarizing (inhibitory), or shunting. Contemporaneous synaptic activation at widely separated sites on the tree result in linear summation of their effects, as do neighboring excitatory and inhibitory activations; activation of synapses of the same type close in time or space produce local saturation of potential resulting in sublinear summation. Linear summation and saturation, both physiologically plausible, are exploited to allow a single neuromorph to discriminate pulse intervals, pulse frequencies, or detect correlation between input trains.

Switched-capacitor neuromorphs with wide-range variable dynamics
The use of switched capacitors as wide-range, programmable resistive elements in spatially extensive artificial dendritic trees (ADT's) is described. We show that silicon neuro-morphs with ADT's can produce impulse responses that last millions of times longer than the initiating impulse and that dynamical responses are tunable in both shape and duration over a wide range. The switched-capacitor...
متن کاملEvolving Synaptic Connections for a Silicon
Our VLSI neuromorphs, possess extensive dendritic trees with hundreds of excitatory and inhibitory synaptic sites. Useful signal processing can be achieved by evolving the appropriate connections to the synapses using genetic algorithms. In order to reduce the very large solution space, schemes for specifying connections have been borrowed from neural development. Results show the evolution of ...

Abstract The electronic architecture and dynamic signal processing capabilities of an artificial dendritic tree which can be used to process and classify dynamic signals is described. The electrical circuit architecture is modeled after neurons that have spatially extensive dendritic trees. The artificial dendritic tree is a hybrid VLSI circuit and is sensitive to both temporal and spatial sign...

متن کاملA method for analyzing the problem of determining the maximum common fragments of temporal directed tree, that do not change with time
In this study two actual types of problems are considered and solved: 1) determining the maximum common connected fragment of the T-tree (T-directed tree) which does not change with time; 2) determining all maximum common connected fragments of the T-tree (T-directed tree) which do not change with time. The choice of the primary study of temporal directed trees and trees is justified by the wid...
