Brain Simulations With Spiking Neurons

 

Student: Kuangwa Zziwa

 

Project Outcomes

 

The following are the problems, which will be solved for the duration of this project: 

  • To summarize various learning mechanisms for supervised neural networks with spiking neurons using temporal coding and develop a suitable monosynaptic modification of the Hebb learning rule, where the weight change depends on the time difference of single presynaptic and postsynaptic firing times.

  • To propose the architecture of SPIN OB simulator based on single neuron for modeling the information processing performed by the olfactory bulb. The model will be used as a valuable tool in further studies of cortical associative memory.

  • To write the code of this simulator and build a graphical user interface using C++ and Matlab.

  • To analyze the results and compare to those received by GENESIS simulator.
