Spike-based local synaptic plasticity: a survey of computational models and neuromorphic circuits

Abstract

Understanding how biological neural networks carry out learning using spike-based local plasticity mechanisms can lead to the development of real-time, energy-efficient, and adaptive neuromorphic processing systems. A large number of spike-based learning models have recently been proposed following different approaches. However, it is difficult to assess if these models can be easily implemented in neuromorphic hardware, and to compare their features and ease of implementation. To this end, in this survey, we provide an overview of re Show more
