DEVICE FOR THE CALCULATION AND MODELING OF NEURONS (NERVE CELLS) (USTROISTVO DLYA RASCHETA I MODELIROVANIYA NEIRONOV),
Abstract
Unlike most other mathematical models of neurons, in which the neuron is regarded as a logical converter, the apparatus described here makes it possible to simulate neuron operation by taking additional account of the operation of a neuron as a converter of a space-time pulsed code. The apparatus is intended for the investigation of the conversion of such a space-time pulse code in neuron models of different types and under different operating conditions. The neuron is regarded as a multiple-pole network with several inputs and one output. The input signals are binary, and the neuron has a threshold which can vary in time. The input sequences of stimuli, the law governing the variation of the threshold with time, and the law governing the forgetting of the stimuli are all inserted by means of a punched tape through a reading unit or by means of a keyboard. It is claimed that the apparatus will help decide which functions of the central nervous system are determined by the structure and operation of individual neurons, and which are determined by the neuron network as a whole. No special programming is required, and the results are presented in a form similar to an ordinary oscillogram. (Author)
