Chua Corsage memristor based neuron models

Nowadays, processing of data via neuromorphic non‐linear dynamics is a key element for brain‐inspired computers. In particular, an appropriate neuromorphic device is essential to emulate neuromorphic functions. In this brief, it is found that the Chua Corsage memristor has rich neuromorphic behaviours, which has potential values to realise the hardware construction for neuromorphic computing. The theory of local activity and edge of chaos are applied to analyse the neuromorphic dynamics of the second‐order Chua Corsage memristor based neuron model, and find that the periodic spikes (action potentials) appear either on or near the edge of chaos domain, which are excited by the subcritical Hopf bifurcation or the unstable state of the neuron model, respectively. Furthermore, the third‐order Chua Corsage memristor based neuron model can generate self‐sustained oscillations, periodic spikes, and chaos near the edge of chaos domain.
