This paper proposes a new logic element model
based on an Izhikevich (IZ) neuron and neural system that
emulates two- and three-state logic behaviours. In a noise-free
environment, with a periodic current of suitable amplitude and
frequency, the IZ system is capable of performing logical AND
and OR operations. Initially, a single IZ neuron demonstrates
membrane dynamics in response to an input signal generated by
combining two-state logic currents below the threshold.
Subsequently, an IZ neural system model is introduced to
enhance the reliability and resilience of the system. This model
is characterised by electrical coupling with fast conduction and
chemical coupling with a more adaptable structure. Each logic
input independently influences each neuron within the system.
Additionally, it has been observed that the reliability of the logic
element is influenced by changes in synaptic strength, with a
neural system lacking sufficient synaptic strength failing to
generate logical output. Furthermore, the system displays a
three-state logic behaviour under suitable forcing periodicity,
thus enhancing the power efficiency of the logic element. The
proposed IZ neuron and neural system are expected to
significantly impact the development of brain-inspired logic
elements.
