Bifurcation Analysis of a Silicon Neuron
نویسندگان
چکیده
We have developed a VLSI silicon neuron and a corresponding mathematical model that is a two state-variable system. We describe the circuit implementation and compare the behaviors observed in the silicon neuron and the mathematical model. We also perform bifurcation analysis of the mathematical model by varying the externally applied current and show that the behaviors exhibited by the silicon neuron under corresponding conditions are in good agreement to those predicted by the bifurcation analysis.

Towards a photonic spiking neuron: excitability in a silicon-on-insulator microring
For certain input power and wavelength settings, high Q-factor silicon-on-insulator rings self-pulsate. Thereby, they seem suited to emulate the behaviour of spiking neurons on a photonic chip. To gain insight in the possible excitation mechanisms a phase-plane analysis is needed. In this paper, we develop the theory needed to construct such phase portraits for a coupled mode theory description...
متن کاملA mathematical-structure-based aVLSI silicon neuron model
The mathematical structures under the conductance-based neuron models have been studied extensively from the perspective of the nonlinear dynamics and bifurcation theory. We proposed to design silicon neuron models by re-constructing the topological structures in the phase portraits and the bifurcation diagrams of the conductance-based neuron models utilizing device-native curves. It not only a...
متن کاملBifurcation of synchronous oscillations into torus in a system of two reciprocally inhibitory silicon neurons: experimental observation and modeling.
Oscillatory activity in the central nervous system is associated with various functions, like motor control, memory formation, binding, and attention. Quasiperiodic oscillations are rarely discussed in the neurophysiological literature yet they may play a role in the nervous system both during normal function and disease. Here we use a physical system and a model to explore scenarios for how qu...

متن کاملA new circuit model for the Parameters in equations of low power Hodgkin-Huxley neuron cell
In this paper, α and β parameters and gating variables equations of Hodgkin-Huxley neuron cell have been studied. Gating variables show opening and closing rate of ion flow of calcium and potassium in neuron cell. Variable functions α and β, are exponential functions in terms of u potential that have been obtained by Hodgkin and Huxley experimentally to adjust the equations of neural cells. In ...
