A Parallel Convolutional Network Based on Spiking Neural Systems
Int J Neural Syst. 2024 Mar 15:2450022. doi: 10.1142/S0129065724500229. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTDeep convolutional neural networks have shown advanced performance in accurately segmenting images. In this paper, an SNP-like convolutional neuron structure is introduced, abstracted from the nonlinear mechanism in nonlinear spiking neural P (NSNP) systems. Then, a U-shaped convolutional neural network named SNP-like parallel-convolutional network, or SPC-Net, is constructed for segmentation tasks. The dual-convolution concatenate (DCC) and dual-convolution addition (DCA) network blocks are designed, respectively, in the ...

An Asynchronous Spiking Neural Membrane System for Edge Detection
Int J Neural Syst. 2024 Mar 16:2450023. doi: 10.1142/S0129065724500230. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTSpiking neural membrane systems (SN P systems) are a class of bio-inspired models inspired by the activities and connectivity of neurons. Extensive studies have been made on SN P systems with synchronization-based communication, while further efforts are needed for the systems with rhythm-based communication. In this work, we design an asynchronous SN P system with resonant connections where all the enabled neurons in the same group connected by resonant connections should instantly produce spikes with the same rhythm. In ...

Edge Computing Transformers for Fall Detection in Older Adults
Int J Neural Syst. 2024 Mar 16:2450026. doi: 10.1142/S0129065724500266. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTThe global trend of increasing life expectancy introduces new challenges with far-reaching implications. Among these, the risk of falls among older adults is particularly significant, affecting individual health and the quality of life, and placing an additional burden on healthcare systems. Existing fall detection systems often have limitations, including delays due to continuous server communication, high false-positive rates, low adoption rates due to wearability and comfort issues, and high costs. In response to these ...
