چکیده
ABSTRACT Recent applications of pulse-coupled neural networks have demonstrated the need for a simple pulse-coupled neuron circuit which can easily be implemented in CMOS technology. The proposed cell uses a positive feedback circuit with two capacitors. One capacitor corresponds to the external sodium ion potential, and the other to the internal potassium ion potentid. This cell body circuit is also used as a neural segment in an artificial axon. When linked by large resistors, these neural segments display many properties expected in a biological axon. SPICE simulations venfy proposed circuit operation.

متن کاملIeee Transactions on Neural Networks
| Many scientists believe that all pulse-coupled neural networks are toy models that are far away from the biological reality. We show here, however, that a huge class of biophysically detailed and biologically plausible neu-ral network models can be transformed into a canonical pulse-coupled form by a piece-wise continuous, possibly non-invertible, change of variables. Such transformations exi...
