Abstract: A neural system comprises multiple neurons interconnected via synapse devices. Each neuron integrates input signals arriving on its dendrite, generates a spike in response to the integrated input signals exceeding a threshold, and sends the spike to the interconnected neurons via its axon. The system further includes multiple noruens, each noruen is interconnected via the interconnect network with those neurons that the noruen's corresponding neuron sends its axon to. Each noruen integrates input spikes from connected spiking neurons and generates a spike in response to the integrated input spikes exceeding a threshold. There can be one noruen for every corresponding neuron. For a first neuron connected via its axon via a synapse to dendrite of a second neuron, a noruen corresponding to the second neuron is connected via its axon through the same synapse to dendrite of the noruen corresponding to the first neuron.

Abstract: A system, method and computer program product produce spike-dependent plasticity in an artificial synapse. A method includes: an electronic device generating a pre-synaptic pulse that occurs a predetermined period of time after receiving a pre-synaptic spike at a first input. The electronic device generating a post-synaptic pulse that starts at a baseline value and reaches a first voltage value a first period of time after receiving a post-synaptic spike at a second input, followed by a second voltage value a second period of time after the post synaptic spike, followed by a return to said baseline voltage a third period of time after the post-synaptic spike. The generated pre-synaptic pulse is applied to a pre-synaptic node of a synaptic device in series with a rectifying element that has a turn-on voltage based on a threshold. The generated post-synaptic pulse is applied to a post-synaptic node of said synaptic device.

Abstract: An electronic synapse device is provided. One embodiment of the invention includes a metastable switching synaptic device. Changing conductance of the metastable switching synaptic device occurs by receiving opposite signed first and second voltage pulses at the metastable switching synaptic device where magnitude of the first voltage pulse and the second voltage pulse each are below a switching voltage magnitude threshold. A magnitude difference between the first voltage pulse and the second voltage pulse exceeds the switching voltage magnitude threshold by an amount, wherein the amount is a function of a relative timing between the first voltage pulse and the second voltage pulse.

Each core circuit includes an electronic synapse array has multiple digital synapses interconnecting a plurality of digital electronic neurons. A synapse interconnects an axon of a pre-synaptic neuron with a dendrite of a post-synaptic neuron. A neuron integrates input spikes and generates a spike event in response to the integrated input spikes exceeding a threshold. Each core circuit also has a scheduler that receives a spike event and delivers the spike event to a selected axon in the synapse array based on a schedule for deterministic event delivery.
