Outline of Final Research Achievements |
This study is aiming at establishment of a systematic design procedure of neuro-hardware that can be implemented with low hardware cost. In this study, novel artificial neuron models the dynamics of which have asynchronous state transitions (i.e., the models are asynchronous sequential logic circuits) are presented. It is shown that the presented models can be implemented by less number of transistors compared to conventional artificial neuron models. Moreover, a network of one of the presented neuron models is presented and it is shown that the presented network has higher reproducibility of brain activities compared to conventional artificial neuron network models.
