Frequency-switched photonic spiking neurons
We propose an approach to generate neuron-like spikes of vertical-cavity surface-emitting laser (VCSEL) by multi-frequency switching. A stable temporal spiking sequence has been realized both by numerical simulations and experiments with a pulse width of sub-nanosecond, which is 8 orders of magnitude faster than ones from biological neurons.

Building Logistic Spiking Neuron Models Using Analytical Approach
Spiking neuron models are inspired by biological neurons. They can simulate the neuronal activities of the mammalian brains, such as spiking (integrator) and periodic oscillation (resonator).

Uncovering Neuronal Networks Defined by Consistent Between-Neuron Spike Timing from Neuronal Spike Recordings [PDF]
AbstractIt is widely assumed that distributed neuronal networks are fundamental to the functioning of the brain. Consistent spike timing between neurons is thought to be one of the key principles for the formation of these networks. This can involve synchronous spiking or spiking with time delays, forming spike sequences when the order of spiking is ...

Neuronal Communication: Firing Spikes with Spikes [PDF]
Spikes of single cortical neurons can exert powerful effects even though most cortical synapses are too weak to fire postsynaptic neurons. A recent study combining single-cell stimulation with population imaging has visualized in vivo postsynaptic firing in genetically identified target cells.

Emulation of Spiking Response and Spiking Frequency Property in VCSEL-Based Photonic Neuron
The dynamical response properties of photonic neuron based on vertical-cavity surface emitting lasers (VCSELs) subject to orthogonal polarized optical pulse injection stimuli have been numerically investigated. Based on the well-known spin flip model, we

Equivalence of Additive and Multiplicative Coupling in Spiking Neural Networks
Spiking neural network models characterize the emergent collective dynamics of circuits of biological neurons and help engineer neuro-inspired solutions across fields. Most dynamical systems’ models of spiking neural networks typically exhibit one

Counting to Ten with Two Fingers: Compressed Counting with Spiking Neurons [PDF]
We consider the task of measuring time with probabilistic threshold gates implemented by bio-inspired spiking neurons. In the model of spiking neural networks, network evolves in discrete rounds, where in each round, neurons fire in pulses in response to
