Before revision:  The method is neuromorphic in that the basic circuit elements mimic how ion channels shape the circuit conductance in specific voltage and temporal windows. As an input-output approach, I-V curve shaping proves effective in enabling robust and accurate control of the circuit behavior , suggesting a close analogy to the biophysical mechanisms of neuromodulation  .
After revision:  The methodology is general in that it only relies on a parallel interconnection of elementary voltage-controlled current sources. In contrast to controlling a nonlinear circuit through the parameter tuning of a state-space model, our approach is purely input-output approach, I-V curve shaping proves effective in enabling robust and accurate control of the circuit behavior , suggesting a close analogy to the biophysical mechanisms of neuromodulation .
