Abstract :
This paper presents a novel neural oscillator model that is inspired by biological oscillation models and is easily implemented in subthreshold analog CMOS VLSI. The proposed model uses local coupling among neuron units. Synchrony and information propagation are demonstrated in chains and rings of the oscillators
