TLDR
It will be shown that the proposed model can be used both for purposes of understanding the mechanisms of an NN of the auditory system and for sound source lateralization tasks in technical applications, e.g., its use with the Darmstadt robotic head.Abstract:
In this paper, a binaural sound source lateralization spiking neural network (NN) will be presented which is inspired by most recent neurophysiological studies on the role of certain nuclei in the superior olivary complex (SOC) and the inferior colliculus (IC). The binaural sound source lateralization neural network (BiSoLaNN) is a spiking NN based on neural mechanisms, utilizing complex neural models, and attempting to simulate certain parts of nuclei of the auditory system in detail. The BiSoLaNN utilizes both excitatory and inhibitory ipsilateral and contralateral influences arrayed in only one delay line originating in the contralateral side to achieve a sharp azimuthal localization. It will be shown that the proposed model can be used both for purposes of understanding the mechanisms of an NN of the auditory system and for sound source lateralization tasks in technical applications, e.g., its use with the Darmstadt robotic head (DRH).read more

Catherine D. Schuman,Thomas E. Potok,Robert M. Patton,J. Douglas Birdwell,Mark Edward Dean,Garrett S. Rose,James S. Plank +6 more
TL;DR: An exhaustive review of the research conducted in neuromorphic computing since the inception of the term is provided to motivate further work by illuminating gaps in the field where new research is needed.

Apparatus and methods for pulse-code invariant object recognition
TL;DR: In this paper, the information is encoded in one variant as a pattern of pulse latencies relative to an occurrence of a temporal event; e.g., the appearance of a new visual frame or movement of the image.

Apparatus and methods for activity-based plasticity in a spiking neuron network
Botond Szatmary,Micah Richert +1 more
TL;DR: In this paper, an activity-based plasticity mechanism was used to potentiate connections between units of the same type (red-red) and depressed connections between different types (red and green) during network operation.
Patent
Sensory input processing apparatus in a spiking neural network
TL;DR: In this paper, the context connections are adjusted according to inverse spike-timing dependent plasticity, which enables robust context switching when processing visual information. But the connection adjustment methodology does not address the problem of context switching.
Patent
Modulated plasticity apparatus and methods for spiking neuron network
TL;DR: In this article, a similarity measure between post-synaptic activations of two or more neurons that may be receiving the same feed-forward input was used to configure a plasticity mechanism for spiking neurons.

Interaural time sensitivity in medial superior olive of cat
Tom C. T. Yin,J. C. K. Chan +1 more
TL;DR: The data suggest that the cells in the MSO behave much like cross-correlators, with computer cross correlations of the monaural spike trains were similar to the ITD curve generated binaurally for both correlated and uncorrelated noise signals to the two ears.
