Romain Brette, Michelle Rudolph, Ted Carnevale, Michael Hines, David Beeman, James M. Bower, ...

Abstract We review different aspects of the simulation of spiking neural networks. We start by reviewing the different types of simulation strategies and algorithms that are currently implemented. We...

Abstract (2008)

Thomas Natschläger, Wolfgang Maass, Eduardo D. Sontag, Anthony Zador

Experimental data show that biological synapses behave quite differently from the symbolic synapses in common artificial neural network models. Biological synapses are dynamic, i.e., their “weight...
