A neural simulation system based on biologically realistic electronic neurons
نویسندگان
چکیده
This paper describes an original neural simulation platform designed as a tool for computational neuroscience. The system, based on artificial electronic neurons implemented in specific integrated circuits, computes in real-time and emulates in analogue mode the electrical activity of single neurons or small neural networks. Neurons are modelled using a biologically realistic description of membrane excitability and synaptic connectivity. The characteristics of the simulator are discussed and simulation examples are presented, including the implementation of ‘‘hybrid networks’’, where living neurons and artificial one are interacting in real-time in a mixed neural network. 2003 Elsevier Inc.

Biologically Realistic Neural Networks and Adaptive Visual Information Processing
This work aims to review the basic concepts of biologically realistic neural networks when applied to visual pattern recognition. A new simple model of biologically realistic visual pattern recognition that adaptively learns by example through synaptic plasticity and changes in structure is also presented. This system uses a spiking neural network composed of integrate-and-fire neurons and Hebb...
متن کاملEfficient Simulation of Biological Neural Networks on Massively Parallel Supercomputers with Hypercube Architecture
We present a neural network simulation which we implemented on the massively parallel Connection Machine 2. In contrast to previous work, this simulator is based on biologically realistic neurons with nontrivial single-cell dynamics, high connectivity with a structure modelled in agreement with biological data, and preservation of the temporal dynamics of spike interactions. We simulate neural ...
متن کاملUnsupervised Sequence Learning by Using Biologically Plausible Neural Networks
In this thesis report, as an approximation to how learning occurs in cortex, a computational neural network model is proposed which is later implemented and experimented on. For that purpose biologically inspired neurons (also known as spiking neurons) are used and network topology is determined based on biological knowledge about structure of the neocortex. Rather than finding parameters and t...
متن کاملSelf-Organized Spiking Neural Network Model for Data Clustering
In recent modern era of neural networks technology, a model called Spiking Neural Network (SNN) was born. This SNN was classified by Maass [1] as the third generation of neural networks. It is a new kind of neural network which is inspired and motivated by the biological neurons ways of communication. The biological neurons communicate with each other through the media of action potentials, oft...
متن کاملWafer-scale VLSI implementations of pulse coupled neural networks
In this paper, we present a system architecture currently under development that will allow very large (>10 neurons, >10 synapses) reconfigurable networks to be built, in the form of interlinked dies on a single wafer. Reconfigurable routing and complex adaptation/plasticity across several timescales in neurons and synapses allow for the implementation of large-scale biologically realistic neur...
