Abstract
A qualitative model of a neuron was studied theoretically and experimentally. A coupled system of nonlinear Schrödinger (NLS) and sine-Gordon equations was used for mathematical description of the complex Fermi-Pasta-Ulam recurrence interpreted as a principal information carrier in the model. Computer and analog experiments were devised to verify the proposed concept.
