Mirrored STDP Implements Autoencoder Learning in a Network of Spiking Neurons.

PLoS computational biology
The autoencoder algorithm is a simple but powerful unsupervised method for training neural networks. Autoencoder networks can learn sparse distributed codes similar to those seen in cortical sensory areas such as visual area V1, but they can also be ...

Efficient Associative Computation with Discrete Synapses.

Neural computation
Neural associative networks are a promising computational paradigm for both modeling neural circuits of the brain and implementing associative memory and Hebbian cell assemblies in parallel VLSI or nanoscale hardware. Previous work has extensively in...

Synaptic Metaplasticity Realized in Oxide Memristive Devices.

Advanced materials (Deerfield Beach, Fla.)
Metaplasticity, a higher order of synaptic plasticity, as well as a key issue in neuroscience, is realized with artificial synapses based on a WO3 thin film, and the activity-dependent metaplastic responses of the artificial synapses, such as spike-t...

Behavioral plasticity through the modulation of switch neurons.

Neural networks : the official journal of the International Neural Network Society
A central question in artificial intelligence is how to design agents capable of switching between different behaviors in response to environmental changes. Taking inspiration from neuroscience, we address this problem by utilizing artificial neural ...

Novel plasticity rule can explain the development of sensorimotor intelligence.

Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences of the United States of America
Grounding autonomous behavior in the nervous system is a fundamental challenge for neuroscience. In particular, self-organized behavioral development provides more questions than answers. Are there special functional units for curiosity, motivation, ...

Learning Spatiotemporally Encoded Pattern Transformations in Structured Spiking Neural Networks.

Neural computation
Information encoding in the nervous system is supported through the precise spike timings of neurons; however, an understanding of the underlying processes by which such representations are formed in the first place remains an open question. Here we ...

Enhancement of Spike-Timing-Dependent Plasticity in Spiking Neural Systems with Noise.

International journal of neural systems
Synaptic plasticity is widely recognized to support adaptable information processing in the brain. Spike-timing-dependent plasticity, one subtype of plasticity, can lead to synchronous spike propagation with temporal spiking coding information. Recen...

Spiking Neural Network With Distributed Plasticity Reproduces Cerebellar Learning in Eye Blink Conditioning Paradigms.

IEEE transactions on bio-medical engineering
GOAL: In this study, we defined a realistic cerebellar model through the use of artificial spiking neural networks, testing it in computational simulations that reproduce associative motor tasks in multiple sessions of acquisition and extinction.

Spinal plasticity in robot-mediated therapy for the lower limbs.

Journal of neuroengineering and rehabilitation
Robot-mediated therapy can help improve walking ability in patients following injuries to the central nervous system. However, the efficacy of this treatment varies between patients, and evidence for the mechanisms underlying functional improvements ...

Rich spectrum of neural field dynamics in the presence of short-term synaptic depression.

Physical review. E, Statistical, nonlinear, and soft matter physics
In continuous attractor neural networks (CANNs), spatially continuous information such as orientation, head direction, and spatial location is represented by Gaussian-like tuning curves that can be displaced continuously in the space of the preferred...
