Pattern Recognition Using Spiking Neural Networks
… pattern recognition in comparison to traditional neural networks convinced neuroscientists to introduce a biologically plausible model of the neuron, which is known as spiking neurons. In opposition to conventional neuron, spiking neurons use a short electrical pulse known as a spike to transfer …
