Very cool. To make it more similar a biologic neuron we need: -autoreceptors; ex; on a excitatory cell released neurotransmitter can bind to the post synaptic receptor which depolarize the post synaptic cell and cause an action potential, but it can also bind to pre-synaptic receptors to inhibit further release of transmitter. Autoreceptors/pre synaptic rec. are thus inhibitory. The cell/neuron will continously alter its expression of autoreceptors which in turn regulate how likely it is to propagate the signal to the next cell. Whether we actually need autoreceptors on artificial neurons idk, but as opposed to 2 neurons acting on a 3rd post synaptic neuron where the combined effect is either inhib. or stim., autoreceptors add the ability of the excitatory neuron becoming "more" or "less" excitatory depending on various input (hormones, etc) This is only needed in artificial neurons if we want f.ex to simulate "feelings"; i.e when "scared" the excitatory neuron has a more powerful stim. effect than when "calm".

Interesting. We defiantly want to simulate "feelings" as this is part of life. I bet we could add this type of change into the circuit with a "light depending resistor" or something similar that changes based on some needed feeling parameter. Any other thoughts on how to build this in?

I think that everyone who starts working with neural networks should start with this. I may be old-fashioned, but it’s hard for me to take seriously anyone who considers himself an "expert" in the field of neural networks, having never held a transistor in his hands and has no idea about the structure of a biological prototype.

Yeah, it is difficult to build a circuits that are comparable to the human body/brain, that is why we have not done it yet. Neuroscientist are sill trying to map all the connections in the brain and they have a long way to go. It is the only science project worth working on in my opinion though as the results have real meaning.

Hi, This is very cool, you created a novel dynamic system that self activates! It's also aesthetically pleasing. As usual, I have a few questions and comments: 1. Is the diode really necessary since I don't think you need to protect against negative voltages? Maybe its purpose is to simulate an activation threshold at the "knee". 2. Is the self-activating pattern somewhat stable and deterministic, or somewhat random and chaotic? It's hard to tell from the video, even when slowing it down. Since transistors vary as they heat up, I would imagine there would be some variation. 3. Does the system form a complete loop (i.e. "recurrent")? In other words is the "first" neuron itself triggered by another neuron or is it just set to a fixed potential? 4. I could see that some configurations might settle out, stop cycling and reach a stable pattern. Have you experienced that? Have you determined the conditions for continous activation? Did you have to "tweak" it to get a stable active pattern? 5. BTW, I like your neuron video, did you produce that yourself? It's a very good animation! (Sorry I have so many questions 😊) Thanks!

Good questions as usual. 1. The diode is needed so that when the synapse is off charge does not flow back to the ground. 2. Well the next video will explain how the neuron itself works. This video was just for the synapse. Since you asked though, the neurons are made with a Schmitt trigger used as a comparator to determine when the voltage is above a threshold value. The charge is flowing into the capacitor based on the resistor values. When the voltage in the capacitor is above the threshold the capacitor discharges. So I would say it is deterministic. 3. The input current going into the first neurons will be from some sensor. Right now it is just set based on the resistor value used. The neurons downstream are connected and are affected by all synapses that are connected to it. Each synapse can drive the voltage within the capacitor to be closer or further from the required threshold voltage to discharge. Depending on if it is an excitatory or inhibitory synapse. 4. As long as there are more excitatory synapses than inhibitory synapses feeding into the neuron it should fire in a continuous manner. In some cases, the inputs might be such that the neuron will not fire. Overall though the entire network will be continuously firing just like in the brain. 5. Thanks! The animations were made in Maya. I tried making them but there was quite a learning curve for Maya so I hired someone to make the animations. The animations are custom made though just for these videos.

@@GlobalScienceNetwork I found some examples on researchgate that checked out in falstad about two years ago, I'll have to go diving. I thought of something akin to polarized lenses, you can take two of those and have one rotate on a servo (very crude example) and use that to make an adjustable filter, LED's of different colours are sensitive to different forms of light, mostly from the plastic "bulb" being dyed. I had something that can be polarized electronically in mind but I forgot the actual name of the thing.

I do not think the LED would be damaged, I have not had any stop working. The main thing that breaks LEDs is to much current. There is a current limiting resistor in the circuit.

Yeah an LED can work like a solar cell, although it is not very efficient as the band gap of the material is higher than silicon's, 1.1 eV , which is typically used in solar cells. The small current that is generated by the LED is then amplified by using two transistors as an amplifier. I just used them cause I had the LEDs and the circuit would be similar regardless of the receiving component. You can also use photodiodes, phototransistors, or LDRs for the receiving side of the trigger.

. Interesting video. You stated that synapse controls memory gain or memory lose. So to me a physical circuit could be a problem. Let's say you have 100 synapses built and only 70 will be used because over time a few were not needed. Wouldn't it be better to be able to reuse the lose 30 synapses by digitally switching them to another function. I like MCUs, I use the PIC16F15375 most of the time. The chip cost about $2, but the price can change. It has 35 ADC with 1024 trigger points that can be used as a weighed synapses (but fewer than 35 because we need a series communication port). So 3 chips can make about 100 weighed synapses with serial outputs to a neuron MCU. The neuron connection can be changeable by device ID coding. So we get to keep all synapses during memory refining Functionality is the biggest problem. How many neurons are needed to do what, as a test? I believe only one chip is need for about 1024 neurons as a test. So four chips $8.00 of course to fan-out the neurons will need a bunch of logic chips. The current GPT model has a memory problem. GPT is function based only (read the internet find correlations). It can't think because it lacks a memory design to grow. I constructed a private memory that I use when working with GPT, but it must stay with me. A good thing, since I working on my gravity theory.

Well, you brought up a lot of points so I will try and respond to each. 1) It would be cool to re-use synapses, overall this is a good idea. This is not how the brain works, so it depends on how closely our final design matches the brain. If the hardware is hard-wired it would have to be built into a design like an FPGA to change wire locations or which synapse is used. 2) Microcontrollers are cool but is this not the same as running a simulation on a digital computer? The idea is for this to be an analog neural network-style design. 3) Functionality is the biggest problem. How many neurons are needed to do what, as a test? This is a great point. We need to build a verified model/test case to work towards. I am still thinking about what would be a good simple test case. 4) GPT can't think because it lacks a memory. This is an interesting point. I am actually outlining all the ways in which simulated neural networks fall short of being functionally equivalent to biological neurons. Basically, neural networks are trained to create a predictive model. Then when given an input it can predict a good output. As you mentioned though the model does more really store memory, it also does not process information in a way so that it can have consciousness.

The light would add some charge to the receiving side. If we use the optocouplers that are in the IC packaging the outside light and light from other synapses would be blocked. It is a good point though that if we used a sensitive receiver in an open environment like this it could add charge to other synapses. That could actually be a design feature rather than an issue if we wanted one output to contact many other inputs without having to wire them all together.
