This issue of IEEE Control Systems includes two features and one “Focus on Education” article. The feature “Neuromorphic Control” draws from the Ph.D. dissertation of my coauthor and former student Luka Ribar. Neuromorphic engineering is a rapidly developing field that takes inspiration from the biological organization of neural systems to develop a novel technology for computing, sensing, and actuating. The unique properties of such systems call for new signal processing and control paradigms. The article discusses the mixed-feedback organization of excitable neuronal systems, which consist of interlocked positive and negative feedback loops acting in distinct time scales. The principles of biological neuromodulation suggest a methodology for designing and controlling mixed-feedback systems neuromorphically.

神经形态控制【关于本期】


本期 IEEE Con​​trol Systems 包括两个专题和一篇“关注教育”文章。 “神经形态控制”功能源自博士。我的合著者、前学生卢卡·里巴尔 (Luka Ribar) 的论文。神经形态工程是一个快速发展的领域，它从神经系统的生物组织中汲取灵感，开发出一种用于计算、传感和驱动的新技术。此类系统的独特属性需要新的信号处理和控制范例。本文讨论了可兴奋神经元系统的混合反馈组织，该组织由在不同时间尺度上起作用的互锁正反馈回路和负反馈回路组成。生物神经调节的原理提出了一种神经形态设计和控制混合反馈系统的方法。
