Efficient multi-scale representation of visual objects using a biologically plausible spike-latency code and winner-take-all inhibition by Sanchez-Garcia, Melani, Chauhan, Tushar, Cottereau, Benoit R., Beyeler, Michael

“…Here we present a SNN model that uses spike-latency coding and winner-take-all inhibition (WTA-I) to efficiently represent visual stimuli using multi-scale parallel processing. Mimicking neuronal response properties in early visual cortex, images were preprocessed with three different spatial frequency (SF) channels, before they were fed to a layer of spiking neurons whose synaptic weights were updated using spike-timing-dependent-plasticity. …”
