A neuronal dynamics study on a neuromorphic chip
Neuronal firing activities have attracted a lot of attention since a large population of spatiotemporal patterns in the brain is the basis for adaptive behavior and can also reveal the signs for various neurological disorders including Alzheimer's, schizophrenia, epilepsy and others. Here, we study the dynamics of a simple neuronal network using different sets of settings on a neuromorphic chip. We observed three different types of collective neuronal firing activities, which agree with the clinical data taken from the brain. We constructed a brain phase diagram and showed that within the weak noise region, the brain is operating in an expected noise-induced phase (N-phase) rather than at a so-called self-organized critical boundary. The significance of this study is twofold: first, the deviation of neuronal activities from the normal brain could be symptomatic of diseases of the central nervous system, thus paving the way for new diagnostics and treatments; second, the normal brain states in the N-phase are optimal for computation and information processing. The latter may provide a way to establish powerful new computing paradigm using collective behavior of networks of spiking neurons.
