Neural processor
First Claim
1. A digital neural processor comprising at least one neural processing element, said neural processing element including:
- a. at least one simulated dendrite, each of said simulated dendrites including;
i. a dendrite input capable of receiving at least one dendrite input signal;
ii. a dendrite signal propagation function for calculating a square pulse dendrite output signal in discrete time steps from each dendrite input signal, said square pulse dendrite output signal defined by;
1. a delay parameter;
2. a duration parameter; and
3. an amplitude parameter; and
b. a simulated axon including;
i. an axon input capable of receiving each said square pulse dendrite output signal from said at least one simulated dendrite;
ii. an axon function, capable of calculating an axon output signal from at least one square pulse dendrite output signal and from at least one previous axon output signals; and
iii. an axon output capable of outputting said axon output signal.

Abstract
Disclosed is a digital neural processor comprising at least one neural processing element. The neural processing elements including at least one simulated dendrite and a simulated axon. Each of the simulated dendrites may include: a dendrite input capable of receiving at least one dendrite input signal and a dendrite signal propagation function capable of calculating a dendrite output signal in discrete time steps from each dendrite input signal. The signal propagation function may further include a delay parameter; a duration parameter; and an amplitude parameter. The simulated axon includes an axon input capable of receiving dendrite output signals, an axon function, capable of calculating an axon output signal from dendrite output signal(s) and an axon output capable of outputting the axon output signal.
