摘要: A real-time, large scale, leaky-integrate-and-fire neural network processor realized using FPGA is presented. This has been designed, as part of a collaborative project, to investigate and implement biologically plausible models the rodent vibrissae based somatosensory system control robot. An emphasis made on hard real-time performance processor, it be used feedback system. led revision some established modelling protocols in other hardware spiking processors. The underlying neuron model ability synaptic noise inter-neural propagation delays provide greater degree biological plausibility. demonstrated real circuitry independent activity.
