Abstract

Considering the first two generations of Artificial Neural Networks, Hopfield model is the only active system. Studying this type of network, a relation between this artificial neural network and the third generation, characterized by spiking neurons, was noticed. This paper presents the relationship between the Hopfield Neural Networks and the Pulsed Neural Networks. This relation is shown by the integration of the Hopfield neuron model, ending in an integrate-and-fire model, with the appropriate choice of the input kernels.
