A simple chaotic neuron model: stochastic behavior of neural networks.

摘要

We have briefly reviewed the occurrence of the post-synaptic potentials between neurons, the relationship between EEG and neuron dynamics, as well as methods of signal analysis. We propose a simple stochastic model representing electrical activity of neuronal systems. The model is constructed using the Monte Carlo simulation technique. The results yielded EEG-like signals with their phase portraits in three-dimensional space. The Lyapunov exponent was positive, indicating chaotic behavior. The correlation of the EEG-like signals was.92, smaller than those reported by others. It was concluded that this neuron model may provide valuable clues about the dynamic behavior of neural systems.
