Recently, it has been shown that spiking neural networks (SNNs) can be trained efficiently, in a supervised manner, using backpropagation through time. Indeed, the most commonly used spiking neuron model, the leaky integrate-and-fire…

Value approximation using deep neural networks is at the heart of off-policy deep reinforcement learning, and is often the primary module that provides learning signals to the rest of the algorithm. While multi-layer perceptron networks are…

Emerged as a biology-inspired method, Spiking Neural Networks (SNNs) mimic the spiking nature of brain neurons and have received lots of research attention. SNNs deal with binary spikes as their activation and therefore derive extreme…

Despite its better bio-plausibility, goal-driven spiking neural network (SNN) has not achieved applicable performance for classifying biological spike trains, and showed little bio-functional similarities compared to traditional artificial…

Designing effective neural networks requires tuning architectural elements. This study integrates fractional calculus into neural networks by introducing fractional order derivatives (FDO) as tunable parameters in activation functions,…

Spiking Neural Networks (SNNs) are a promising framework for event-driven temporal processing. Prior work has improved temporal modeling through richer neuron dynamics and network-level mechanisms such as recurrence and delays, but it…

Firing rate fluctuations in neural populations are observed experimentally over multiple time scales, in single neurons, across trials when elicited by stimuli, and across populations. In this work, we examine how firing rate fluctuations…

Compared to conventional artificial neurons that produce dense and real-valued responses, biologically-inspired spiking neurons transmit sparse and binary information, which can also lead to energy-efficient implementations. Recent research…

Although there is increasing evidence of criticality in the brain, the processes that guide neuronal networks to reach or maintain criticality remain unclear. The present research examines the role of neuronal gain plasticity in time-series…

The Bayesian view of the brain hypothesizes that the brain constructs a generative model of the world, and uses it to make inferences via Bayes' rule. Although many types of approximate inference schemes have been proposed for hierarchical…

A Spiking Neural Network (SNN) can be trained indirectly by first training an Artificial Neural Network (ANN) with the conventional backpropagation algorithm, then converting it into an SNN. The conventional rate-coding method for SNNs uses…
