Currently the process involves experimentally recording activation and trying to replicate that. It’s not as easy as it sounds, though. Organic neurons don’t have floating-point weight values, nor do neural maps propagate in the feed-forward way that makes ANNs efficient on computers. The best approximations use Spiking Neural Networks [1] and comparatively little research is done there. And again, this is just a different propagation strategy that looks more similar to how organic brains fire. It’s not a fully accurate simulation of the complex chemical ion channels found in the real thing.
