Perception of voice means acoustic electric conversion in the auditory system, and changes of external magnetic field can affect the neural activities by taming the channel current via some field components including memristor and Josephson junction. Combination of two capacitors via an electric component is effective to describe the physical property of artificial cell membrane, which is often used to reproduce the characteristic of electric activities in cell membrane. Involvement of two capacitive variables for two capacitors in the neural circuit can discern the effect of field diversity in the media in two sides of the cell membrane in theoretical way. A Josephson junction is used to couple a piezoelectric neural circuit composed of two capacitors, one inductor and one nonlinear resistor. Field energy is mainly kept in the capacitive and inductive components, and it is obtained and converted into dimensionless energy function. The Hamilton energy function in an equivalent auditory neuron is verified by using the Helmholtz theorem. Noisy excitation on the neural circuit can be detected via the Josephson junction channel and similar stochastic resonance is detected by regulating the noise intensity, as a result, the average energy reaches a peak value under stochastic resonance. An adaptive law controls the bifurcation parameter, which is relative to the membrane property, and energy shift controls the mode selection during continuous growth of the bifurcation parameter. That is, external energy injection derived from acoustic wave or magnetic field will control the energy level, and then suitable firing patterns are controlled effectively.
