Burst synchronization in two pulse-coupled resonate-and-fire neuron circuits

The present paper addresses burst synchronization in out of phase observed in two pulse-coupled resonate-and-fire neuron (RFN) circuits. The RFN circuit is a silicon spiking neuron that has second-order membrane dynamics and exhibits fast subthreshold oscillation of membrane potential. Due to such dynamics, the behavior of the RFN circuit is sensitive to the timing of stimuli. We investigated the effects of the sensitivity and the mutual interaction on the dynamic behavior of two pulse-coupled RFN circuits, and will demonstrate out of phase burst synchronization and bifurcation phenomena through circuit simulations.
