A silicon neuron circuit that produces spiking and bursting firing patterns, with biologically plausible spike shape, is presented. The circuit mimics the behaviour of known class...
Spike correlations between neurons are ubiquitous in the cortex, but their role is at present not understood. Here we describe the firing response of a leaky integrate-and-fire ne...
Using a realistic model of activity dependent dynamical synapse, which includes both depressing and facilitating mechanisms, we study the conditions in which a postsynaptic neuron...
In this work, we propose a variation of a direct reinforcement learning algorithm, suitable for usage with spiking neurons based on the spike response model (SRM). The SRM is a bi...

The synapse from the lateral pyloric (LP) to the pyloric dilator (PD) neuron in the stomatogastric nervous system of the crab Cancer borealis has both a graded and a spike-mediate...
We continue here the study of the recently introduced spiking neural P systems, which mimic the way that neurons communicate with each other by means of short electrical impulses, ...
This paper is an attempt to incorporate the idea of spiking neurons into the area of membrane computing, and to this aim we introduce a class of neural-like P systems which we cal...
Correlation measures are important tools for the analysis of simultaneously recorded spike trains. A well-known measure with probabilistic interpretation is the cross-intensity fun...
There is growing evidence from psychophysical and neurophysiological studies that the brain utilizes Bayesian principles for inference and decision making. An important open quest...
Neural networks use neurons of the same type in each layer but such architecture cannot lead to data models of optimal complexity and accuracy. Networks with architectures (number ...
