Silicon neurons are of importance both to implement hybrid electronic-biological system as well as to develop fundamental understanding of the neurobiological systems they emulate. We have implemented a hardware version of the quadratic integrate and fire neural model. The quadratic integrate and fire neuron differs from the more common integrate and fire neuron in that the model, and thus the hardware, intrinsically generate spikes. Readily available discrete surface mount components are used to make the hardware available to a wider audience and facilitate experimentation.
硅神经元对于实现混合电子 - 生物系统以及深入理解其所模拟的神经生物学系统都非常重要。我们已经实现了二次积分发放神经模型的硬件版本。二次积分发放神经元与更常见的积分发放神经元的不同之处在于,该模型以及相应的硬件会内在地产生脉冲。我们使用现成的分立表面贴装元件来制作硬件,以便更广泛的受众能够使用并便于进行实验。
