Building spiking neural networks (SNNs) based on biological synaptic plasticities holds a promising potential for accomplishing fast and energy-efficient computing, which is beneficial to mobile robotic applications. However, the implementations of S...
The hippocampus is able to rapidly learn incoming information, even if that information is only observed once. Furthermore, this information can be replayed in a compressed format in either forward or reverse modes during sharp wave-ripples (SPW-Rs)....

The brain is highly plastic, with synaptic weights changing across a wide range of time scales, from hundreds of milliseconds to days. Changes occurring at different temporal scales are believed to serve different purposes, with long-term changes for...
Recently it has been proposed that information in working memory (WM) may not always be stored in persistent neuronal activity but can be maintained in 'activity-silent' hidden states, such as synaptic efficacies endowed with short-term synaptic plas...

We demonstrate that a randomly connected attractor network with dynamic synapses can discriminate between similar sequences containing multiple stimuli suggesting such networks provide a general basis for neural computations in the brain. The network...
Reservoir computing is a biologically inspired class of learning algorithms in which the intrinsic dynamics of a recurrent neural network are mined to produce target time series. Most existing reservoir computing algorithms rely on fully supervised l...
