The midbrain superior colliculus (SC) generates a rapid saccadic eye movement to a sensory stimulus by recruiting a population of cells in its topographically organized motor map. Supra-threshold electrical microstimulation in the SC reveals that the...

We trained two spiking neural networks (SNNs), the cortical spiking network (CSN) and the cortical neuron-astrocyte network (CNAN), using a spike-based unsupervised method, on the MNIST and alpha-digit data sets and achieve an accuracy of 96.1% and 7...
Brains perform complex tasks using a fraction of the power that would be required to do the same on a conventional computer. New neuromorphic hardware systems are now becoming widely available that are intended to emulate the more power efficient, hi...

Neural networks are powerful computation tools for mimicking the human brain to solve realistic problems. Since spiking neural networks are a type of brain-inspired network, called the novel spiking system, Monitor-based Spiking Recurrent network (Mb...
When incorporating more realistic synaptic dynamics, the computational efficiency of population density methods (PDMs) declines sharply due to the increase in the dimension of master equations. To avoid such a decline, we develop an efficient PDM, te...
