Abstract:
Memristor enables the coupling of magnetic flux to membrane voltage and is widely used to investigate the response characteristics of neurons to electromagnetic radiation. In this paper, a local active discrete memristor is constructed and used to study the effect of electromagnetic radiation on the dynamics of neurons. The research results demonstrate that increasing electromagnetic radiation intensity could induce hyperchaotic attractors. Furthermore, this neuron model generates hyperchaotic and three points coexistence attractors with the introduction of the memristor. A digital circuit is designed to implement the model and evaluate the randomness of its output sequence. Neuronal models exhibit a rich dynamic behavior with electrical radiation stimulation, which can provide new directions for exploring the production mechanisms of certain neurological diseases.
