Abstract :
Biological neurons achieve their rich variety of waveform modulation patterns through a variety of specific signaling processes. In this paper we examine some of the principal mechanisms by which biological signal processing takes place. We introduce a new artificial neuron structure modeled upon these processes and discuss the signal processing architecture suitable for mimicking real neurons in silicon.
