神经形态工程有望对我们的社会产生革命性的影响。开发人工神经元（AN）的策略是使用振荡和可兴奋的化学系统。在这里，我们使用紫外线和可见光辐射作为兴奋和抑制信号之间的通信振荡反应，如Belousov-Zhabotinsky和荧光Orban转换，和光激发的光致变色和荧光物种。我们提出的实验结果和模拟对AN通信的一个或两个光信号，和三元组的AN安排在前馈和经常性的网络。我们发现，通过化学和/或电磁辐射的能量供电的AN，可以引起同相，异相，反相同步和锁相的涌现特性，动态地模仿真实的神经元之间的通信。
Neuromorphic engineering promises to have a revolutionary impact in our societies. A strategy to develop artificial neurons (ANs) is to use oscillatory and excitable chemical systems. Herein, we use UV and visible radiation as both excitatory and inhibitory signals for the communication among oscillatory reactions, such as the Belousov-Zhabotinsky and the chemiluminescent Orban transformations, and photo-excitable photochromic and fluorescent species. We present the experimental results and the simulations regarding pairs of ANs communicating by either one or two optical signals, and triads of ANs arranged in both feed-forward and recurrent networks. We find that the ANs, powered chemically and/or by the energy of electromagnetic radiation, can give rise to the emergent properties of in-phase, out-of-phase, anti-phase synchronizations and phase-locking, dynamically mimicking the communication among real neurons.
