Abstract:
An electronic neuron circuit comprisingan output terminal initially at a first voltage,a first capacitor for charging to a voltage V.sub.in in response to at least one input current,a first threshold circuit having a switching threshold V.sub.th for producing a first trigger signal when said V.sub.in >V.sub.th,first circuit means responsive to said first trigger signal for driving said output terminal from said first voltage toward a spiking voltage,means responsive to said voltage at said output terminal being driven toward said spiking voltage for resetting V.sub.in to a value less than said V.sub.th, andfirst feedback means responsive to said voltage at said output terminal being driven toward said spiking voltage for speeding up said driving of said output terminal toward said spiking voltage.
