Abstract :
The model of the RealNeuron is compared with that of perceptrons and spiking neurons. It is shown that special instances of the RealNeuron can implement perceptrons and spiking neurons. Also, a theoretical evaluation of the RealNeuron performance, in the presence of noise, is presented. The performance is dependant on the the refractory function´s output value of the sensor neurons in the network. The range for the the refractory function is presented for a sensor neuron to function correctly in a noisy environment. The range is dependant on the pump parameters in the main membrane of the sensor neurons.
