Humans can reason at an abstract level and structure information into abstract categories, but the underlying neural processes have remained unknown. Recent experimental data provide the hint that this is likely to involve specific subareas of the br...

We propose a new supervised learning rule for multilayer spiking neural networks (SNNs) that use a form of temporal coding known as rank-order-coding. With this coding scheme, all neurons fire exactly one spike per stimulus, but the firing order carr...
The responses of many cortical neurons to visual stimuli are modulated by the position of the eye. This form of gain modulation by eye position does not change the retinotopic selectivity of the responses, but only changes the amplitude of the respon...
Sequential neural activity has been observed in many parts of the brain and has been proposed as a neural mechanism for memory. The natural world expresses temporal relationships at a wide range of scales. Because we cannot know the relevant scales a...
The multispike tempotron (MST) is a powersul, single spiking neuron model that can solve complex supervised classification tasks. It is also internally complex, computationally expensive to evaluate, and unsuitable for neuromorphic hardware. Here we ...
The aim of this paper is to investigate various information-theoretic measures, including entropy, mutual information, and some systematic measures that are based on mutual information, for a class of structured spiking neuronal networks. In order to...
The ability to efficiently analyze the activities of biological neural networks can significantly promote our understanding of neural communications and functionalities. However, conventional neural signal analysis approaches need to transmit and sto...
Spiking neural networks (SNN) are computational models inspired by the brain's ability to naturally encode and process information in the time domain. The added temporal dimension is believed to render them more computationally efficient than the con...

In order to refine the analysis of the computational power of discrete-time recurrent neural networks (NNs) between the binary-state NNs which are equivalent to finite automata (level 3 in the Chomsky hierarchy), and the analog-state NNs with rationa...

Neural networks implemented with traditional hardware face inherent limitation of memory latency. Specifically, the processing units like GPUs, FPGAs, and customized ASICs, must wait for inputs to read from memory and outputs to write back. This moti...
