Measuring spike train distance from multichannel spike trains data simulated by coupled escape rate model
Estimating the population activity patterns between two or more spike trains is a fundamental problem in studying neural coding in computational neuroscience. In recent years, there are many different methods proposed to build a framework to deal with these problems by using spike train metric. Here we suggest a kernel method for multichannel spike trains that can provide an opportunity to meas...
متن کاملMaximising Sensitivity in a Spiking Network
We use unsupervised probabilistic machine learning ideas to try to explain the kinds of learning observed in real neurons, the goal being to connect abstract principles of self-organisation to known biophysical processes. For example, we would like to explain Spike TimingDependent Plasticity (see [5,6] and Figure 3A), in terms of information theory. Starting out, we explore the optimisation of ...
متن کاملBayesian Sparse Unsupervised Learning for Probit Models of Binary Data
We present a unified approach to unsupervised Bayesian learning of factor models for binary data with binary and spike-and-slab latent factors. We introduce a non-negative constraint in the spike-and-slab prior that eliminates the usual sign ambiguity present in factor models and lowers the generalization error on the datasets tested here. For the generative models we use probit functions, whic...
متن کاملUnsupervised Feature Learning With Winner-Takes-All Based STDP
We present a novel strategy for unsupervised feature learning in image applications inspired by the Spike-Timing-Dependent-Plasticity (STDP) biological learning rule. We show equivalence between rank order coding Leaky-Integrate-and-Fire neurons and ReLU artificial neurons when applied to non-temporal data. We apply this to images using rank-order coding, which allows us to perform a full netwo...
متن کاملCode-specific policy gradient rules for spiking neurons
Although it is widely believed that reinforcement learning is a suitable tool for describing behavioral learning, the mechanisms by which it can be implemented in networks of spiking neurons are not fully understood. Here, we show that different learning rules emerge from a policy gradient approach depending on which features of the spike trains are assumed to influence the reward signals, i.e....
