An excitable electronic circuit as a sensory neuron model

An electronic circuit device, inspired on the FitzHughNagumo model of neuronal excitability, was constructed and shown to operate with characteristics compatible with those of biological sensory neurons. The nonlinear dynamical model of the electronics quantitatively reproduces the experimental obse...
