A VLSI Implementation of the Adaptive Exponential Integrate-and-Fire Neuron Model
نویسندگان
چکیده
We describe an accelerated hardware neuron being capable of emulating the adaptive exponential integrate-and-fire neuron model. Firing patterns of the membrane stimulated by a step current are analyzed in transistor level simulations and in silicon on a prototype chip. The neuron is destined to be the hardware neuron of a highly integrated wafer-scale system reaching out for new computational paradigms and opening new experimentation possibilities. As the neuron is dedicated as a universal device for neuroscientific experiments, the focus lays on parameterizability and reproduction of the analytical model.

Analog implementation for networks of integrate-and-fire neurons with adaptive local connectivity
An analog VLSI implementation for pulse coupled neural networks of leakage free integrate-and-fire neurons is presented. The network can be used for rubust signal processing and image processing taks such as segmentation. Synchronity is achieved by adaptive local connections only. Implementation of both integrateand-fire neurons and adpative weights is developed in detail. The synchronisation c...
متن کاملModeling Networks with VLSI (linear) Integrate-and-Fire Neurons
We analyse in detail all the statistical properties of a \canon-ical" integrate-and-re VLSI neuron with a linear integrator 1]. We show that a network of such elements can maintain both stable spontaneous activity and selective delay activity, contrary to current opinion. The spike statistics appears to be qualitatively the same as in networks of conventional (exponential) integrate-and-re neur...
متن کاملFrom Stochastic Nonlinear Integrate-and-Fire to Generalized Linear Models
Variability in single neuron models is typically implemented either by a stochastic Leaky-Integrate-and-Fire model or by a model of the Generalized Linear Model (GLM) family. We use analytical and numerical methods to relate state-of-theart models from both schools of thought. First we find the analytical expressions relating the subthreshold voltage from the Adaptive Exponential Integrate-andF...
متن کاملMemristor Bridge Synapse Application for Integrate and Fire and Hodgkin-Huxley Neuron Cell
Memory resistor or memristor is already fabricated successfully using current nano dimension technology. Based on its unique hysteresis, the amount of resistance remains constant over time, controlled by the time, the amplitude, and the polarity of the applied voltage. The unique hysteretic current-voltage characteristic in the memristor causes this element to act as a non-volatile resistive me...
متن کاملSynchronised firing patterns in a random network of adaptive exponential integrate-and-fire
We have studied neuronal synchronisation in a random network of adaptive exponential integrate-and-fire neurons. We study how spiking or bursting synchronous behaviour appears as a function of the coupling strength and the probability of connections, by constructing parameter spaces that identify these synchronous behaviours from measurements of the inter-spike interval and the calculation of t...
