  • Method for unsupervised sorting in real time of action potentials of a plurality of biological neurons
    Patent number: 11348011
    Abstract: A method for unsupervised sorting, in real time, of action potentials of biological neurons by a network of artificial neurons including input, intermediate and output layers, the method according to which: the input layer receives an electrical signal measuring an electrical activity of biological neurons, the electrical signal having a variable amplitude as a function of action potentials emitted by the plurality of biological neurons over time; the input layer converts the amplitude of the electrical signal into a train of first spikes; the input layer transmits the train of first spikes to the intermediate layer; the intermediate layer converts the train of first spikes into a train of second spikes; the intermediate layer transmits the train of second spikes to the output layer; as a function of the train of second spikes, the output layer sorts each occurrence of each type of action potential present in the electrical signal.
