Synchrony Detection by Analogue VLSI Neurons with Bimodal STDP Synapses
نویسندگان
چکیده
We present test results from spike-timing correlation learning experiments carried out with silicon neurons with STDP (Spike Timing Dependent Plasticity) synapses. The weight change scheme of the STDP synapses can be set to either weight-independent or weight-dependent mode. We present results that characterise the learning window implemented for both modes of operation. When presented with spike trains with different types of synchronisation the neurons develop bimodal weight distributions. We also show that a 2-layered network of silicon spiking neurons with STDP synapses can perform hierarchical synchrony detection.

Role of STDP in regulation of neural timing networks in human: a simulation study
Many physiological events require an accurate timing signal, usually generated by neural networks called central pattern generators (CPGs). On the other hand, properties of neurons and neural networks (e.g. time constants of neurons and weights of network connections) alter with time, resulting in gradual changes in timing of such networks. Recently, a synaptic weight adjustment mechanism has b...

متن کاملA VLSI reconfigurable network of integrate-and-fire neurons with spike-based learning synapses
We present a VLSI device comprising an array of leaky integrate–and– fire (I&F) neurons and adaptive synapses with spike–timing dependent plasticity (STDP). The neurons transmit spikes off chip and the synapses receive spikes from external devices using a communication protocol based on the “Address– Event Representation” (AER). We studied the response properties of the neurons in the array to ...
متن کاملNeuromorphic Bistable VLSI Synapses with Spike-Timing-Dependent Plasticity
We present analog neuromorphic circuits for implementing bistable synapses with spike-timing-dependent plasticity (STDP) properties. In these types of synapses, the short-term dynamics of the synaptic efficacies are governed by the relative timing of the preand post-synaptic spikes, while on long time scales the efficacies tend asymptotically to either a potentiated state or to a depressed one....
متن کاملEmergent gamma synchrony in all-to-all interneuronal networks
We investigate the emergence of in-phase synchronization in a heterogeneous network of coupled inhibitory interneurons in the presence of spike timing dependent plasticity (STDP). Using a simple network of two mutually coupled interneurons (2-MCI), we first study the effects of STDP on in-phase synchronization. We demonstrate that, with STDP, the 2-MCI network can evolve to either a state of st...
