Claim One:
1. A neural core circuit comprising: a pseudo-random number generator (PRNG) for generating random numbers; a plurality of incoming electronic axons; a plurality of neural modules, wherein each neural module maintains one or more configurable probability values, wherein each neural module integrates incoming spikes probabilistically based in part on at least one random number generated by the PRNG and at least one of said probability values, wherein each neural module generates outgoing spikes probabilistically based in part on a comparison between at least one random number generated by the PRNG and at least one of said probability values, and wherein each neural module represents a noisy-OR gate; and a plurality of electronic synapses interconnecting the axons with the neural modules, wherein each synapse interconnects an axon with a neural module, and wherein each neural module receives incoming spikes from interconnected axons.
