Research Abstract

We proposed a sensor system inspired by mouse taste buds and electroreceptors of paddlefish. In the present sensor system, the strength and identity of input signals were encoded into the output frequency and degree of synchronization between a pair of output neurons. The structure of the sensor system was based on a cell-to-cell network in the mouse taste buds. Further, we made a computational model of the mouse taste bud cells. The avoidance behavior of glass catfish in the weak electric fieldwas also revealed.
