Biological neural systems achieve remarkable robustness and adaptability in uncertain environments through sparse, event-driven spike-based information processing and adaptive regulation. Inspired by this paradigm, this paper develops a neuromorhpic disturbance observer (NDO) and control framework that replaces conventional continuous-time signal representations with spike-timing encoding. Both disturbance estimates and control inputs are constructed via integrate-and-fire (IF) neuron dynamics from discrete spike events, yielding intrinsically event-driven updates. An adaptive-threshold triggering mechanism is inspired by spike-frequency adaptation (SFA), enabling history-dependent regulation of spike generation. Simulation results demonstrate that the proposed framework achieves neurally inspired robustness and adaptability, while the adaptive-threshold spiking scheme reduces spike events to 42.6% of the fixed-threshold case under noisy conditions.
