The brain as a fuzzy engineering problem
Seyed · 1991
A model of fuzzy-firing neuron, called fuzzioid is proposed. It is a generalization (the fuzzification) of the binary (on or off) model of a neuron. The model is based on a concept that the firing action in a neuron is fuzzy-there is an intensity (or a degree) of firing. A fuzzy connectionist system as a network of fuzzily interconnected neurons, where each connecting link (axon/dendrite synapse) is modeled by an elastic device called a fuzzistor, is also developed. The system's knowledge of its external world is stored as fuzzistances (connection strengths) among the neurons.>
