Neuron Modulation: A Digital Modulation Based on Spiking Neuron Models
نویسندگان
چکیده
In this paper, a novel digital modulation technique based on spiking neuron models is proposed. Thanks to the extremely simple and low-power spiking neuron circuits, this modulation scheme allows a less complex receiver at the cost of a more complicated transmitter. Accordingly, it is a good candidate for downlink transmission. Since the transmitted signal is generated based on Shannon’s interpolation formula, it is approximately bandlimited. Spectral analysis shows that the proposed scheme is as spectrally efficient as QAM wherein a root-raised-cosine filter with a small roll-off factor is employed. A comparison of the bit error rate performance of the proposed scheme and QAM is also described.

Associative Memory Operation in a Hopfield-type Spiking Neural Network with Modulation of Resting Membrane Potential
This paper proposes a Hopfield-type spiking neural network with modulation of resting membrane potential, and reports retrieval data transition phenomena in its associative memory operation. Spiking neuron models express analog information by the timing of neuronal spike firing events. Since these models operate asynchronously, it is expected that the spiking network operates faster than the co...
متن کاملArtificial Spiking Neurons and Analog-to-Digital-to-Analog Conversion
This paper studies encoding/decoding function of artificial spiking neurons. First, we investigate basic characteristics of spiketrains of the neurons and fix parameter value that can minimize variation of spike-train length for initial value. Second we consider analog-to-digital encoding based upon spike-interval modulation that is suitable for simple and stable signal detection. Third we pres...
متن کاملA Unifying Mechanistic Model of Selective Attention in Spiking Neurons
Visuospatial attention produces myriad effects on the activity and selectivity of cortical neurons. Spiking neuron models capable of reproducing a wide variety of these effects remain elusive. We present a model called the Attentional Routing Circuit (ARC) that provides a mechanistic description of selective attentional processing in cortex. The model is described mathematically and implemented...
متن کاملHierarchical Bayesian Inference in Networks of Spiking Neurons
There is growing evidence from psychophysical and neurophysiological studies that the brain utilizes Bayesian principles for inference and decision making. An important open question is how Bayesian inference for arbitrary graphical models can be implemented in networks of spiking neurons. In this paper, we show that recurrent networks of noisy integrate-and-fire neurons can perform approximate...
متن کاملOn a pulse-coupled network of spiking neurons having quantized state
A quantized spiking neuron has various co-existing periodic spike-trains and generates one of them depending on the initial state. An information coding method for the spike-trains is introduced based on pulse interval modulation. We clarify correspondence between the set of co-existing spike-trains and a set of code sequences in a parameter subspace. Also, a pulsecoupled network is introduced ...
