Lateral Information Processing by Spiking Neurons: A Theoretical Model of the Neural Correlate of Consciousness
Figure 2
(a) Biological neuron. (b) Abstract neuron with three neuronal inputs. An abstract neuron is described by several parameters and state variables, for example, the activation or the connection weights. If the activation rises above a threshold, then the neuron sends a voltage spike along the axon which is then integrated by other neurons through its dendrites.
