Abstract

Spiking neuron circuits and methods are provided in this disclosure. A spiking neuron may include a triggerable and frequency-controllable oscillator that is configured to generate an oscillator signal. The spiking neuron may further include a spike signal detector that is configured to generate spike detection signals in response to detection of input spike signals. The spike signal detector may generate the spike detection signals based on the oscillator signal. The spiking neuron may further include a neuron structure that is configured to provide an output spike signal based on the spike detection signals and the oscillator signal.
