Abstract:
Neurobiological research has lead to the birth of third generation (neuromorphic) artificial neural networks. One of these models is based on the natural “spiking” neural behavior, which creates the basis of our research. Following the developed mathematical “pulse reactive” model, we present our software simulator and one application of it. The FPGA built hardware spiking neuron is then introduced along with a network of these new model neurons. The modular neuron structure, acquired signals and performance analysis are given.
