@article{Nagumo1962AnAP, title={An Active Pulse Transmission Line Simulating Nerve Axon}, author={J. Nagumo and S. Arimoto and S. Yoshizawa}, journal={Proceedings of the IRE}, year={1962}, volume={50}, pages={2061-2070} }
To electronically simulate an animal nerve axon, the authors made an active pulse transmission line using tunnel diodes. The equation of propagation for this line is the same as that for a simplified model of nerve membrane treated elsewhere. This line shapes the signal waveform during transmission, that is, there being a specific pulse-like waveform peculiar to this line, smaller signals are amplified, larger ones are attenuated, narrower ones are widened and those which are wider are shrunk… CONTINUE READING
