Models Of Biological Neurons And Networks Producing EEG-like Signals

The behaviour of biological neural networks is simulated using two different models of the elements of the network. For the first model, individual neurons represent the simplest conventional model of a biological neuron, while in the second model they are sufficiently sophisticated (without being much more complex) to be capable of generating deterministically chaotic outputs. The behaviour of networks using this second model is much more realistic, as is confirmed by comparison with actual electroencephalograms (EEGs) recorded under clinical conditions.
