  • Abstract
    We present an electronic neuron that uses first-order log-domain low-pass filters to implement the Mihalas-Niebur model. The neuron consists of a leaky-integrate-and-fire core and building blocks to implement an adaptive threshold and spike induced currents. Simulation results show that this modular neuron can emulate different spiking behaviours observed in biological neurons.
