An experimental bifurcation diagram of a circuit implementing an approximation of the Hindmarsh–Rose (HR) neuron model is presented. Measured asymptotic time series of circuit voltages are automatically classified through an ad hoc algorithm. The resulting two-dimensional experimental bifurcation diagram evidences a good match with respect to the numerical results available for both the approximated and original HR model. Moreover, the experimentally obtained current–frequency curve is very similar to that of the original model. The obtained results are both a proof of concept of a quite general method developed in the last few years for the approximation and implementation of nonlinear dynamical systems and a first step towards the realisation in silico of HR neuron networks with tunable parameters.

Abstract
An experimental bifurcation diagram of a circuit implementing an approximation of the Hindmarsh–Rose (HR) neuron model is presented. Measured asymptotic time series of circuit voltages are automatically classified through an ad hoc algorithm. The resulting two-dimensional experimental bifurcation diagram evidences a good match with respect to the numerical results available for both the approximated and original HR model. Moreover, the experimentally obtained current–frequency curve is very similar to that of the original model. The obtained results are both a proof of concept of a quite general method developed in the last few years for the approximation and implementation of nonlinear dynamical systems and a first step towards the realisation in silico of HR neuron networks with tunable parameters.I documenti in IRIS sono protetti da copyright e tutti i diritti sono riservati, salvo diversa indicazione.
