Analog-to-digital converters (ADCs) allow physical signals to be processed using digital hardware. Their conversion consists of two stages: Sampling, which maps a continuous-time signal into discrete-time, and quantization, i.e., representing the continuous-amplitude quantities finite number bits. ADCs typically implement generic uniform mappings that are ignorant task for is acquired, can cost...

This paper studies encoding/decoding function of artificial spiking neurons. First, we investigate basic characteristics of spiketrains of the neurons and fix parameter value that can minimize variation of spike-train length for initial value. Second we consider analog-to-digital encoding based upon spike-interval modulation that is suitable for simple and stable signal detection. Third we pres...
