Abstract:
The neuron model serves as the foundation for building a neural network. The goal of neuron modeling is to shoot a tradeoff between the biological meaningful and the implementation cost, so as to build a bridge between brain science knowledge and the brain-like neuromorphic computing. Unlike previous neuron models with linear static synapses, the focus of this research is to model neurons with relatively detailed nonlinear dynamic synapses. First, a universal soma-synapses neuron (SSN) is proposed. It contains a soma represented by a leaky integrate-and-fire neuron and multiple excitatory and inhibitory synapses based on ion channels dynamics. Short-term plasticity and spike-timing-dependent plasticity linked to biological microscopic mechanisms are also presented in the synaptic models. Then, SSN is implemented on field-programmable gate array (FPGA). The performance of each component in SSN is analyzed and evaluated. Finally, a neural network SSNN composed of SSNs is deployed on FPGA and used for testing. Experimental results show that the stimulus-response characteristics of SSN are consistent with the electrophysiological test findings of biological neurons, and the activities of SSNN exhibit a promising prospect. We provide a prototype for embedded neuromorphic computing with a small number of relatively detailed neuron models.
