Neuronal dynamics based on discontinuous circle maps

Abstract An analysis is given of the dynamics of binary threshold neurons with extended time-summation and nonlinear threshold activity. It is shown that the dynamics is either trivial or described by circle maps with a single discontinuity. In the latter case both frequency-locking and chaos can occur.
