We compare the different design methodologies used for each silicon neuron design described, and demonstrate their features with experimental results.

It's biologically inspired and combined with a bionic-ear processor in a feedback loop. This means it can not only be used...

Analog has two major problems: not only is it just... Blogs, Technologies:Analog Fri, 22 Feb 2008 13:00:00 +0100
