Parkinson's Disease (PD) is a neurodegenerative disease that currently does not have a cure. In order to facilitate disease management and reduce the speed of symptom progression, early diagnosis is essential. The current clinical,…
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…
Neurons process information by transforming barrages of synaptic inputs into spiking activity. Synaptic inhibition suppresses the output firing activity of a neuron, and is commonly classified as having a subtractive or divisive effect on a…
Dale's Principle has historically guided neuroscience research as a valuable rule of thumb, namely that all synapses on each neuron release the same set of neurotransmitters. Most existing Spiking Neuron Network models share this…
