Abstract
DSSN model is a qualitative neuronal model designed for efficient implementation in a digital arithmetic circuit. In our previous studies, we extended this model to support a wide variety of neuronal classes. Parameters of the DSSN model were hand-fitted to reproduce neuronal activity precisely. In this work, we studied automatic parameter fitting procedure for the DSSN model. We optimized parameters of the model by the differential evolution algorithm in order to reproduce waveforms of the ionic-conductance models and reduce necessary circuit resources for the implementation.
