Consequently, several novel methods are developed.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eA new mathematical formulation is proposed for the encoding and decoding of analog signals using integrate-and-fire neuron models. Based on this formulation, a novel algorithm, significantly faster than the state-of-the-art method, is proposed for reconstructing the input of the neuron.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eTwo new identification methods are proposed for neural circuits comprising a filter in series with a spiking neuron model. These methods reduce the number of assumptions made by the state-of-the-art identification framework, allowing for a wider range of models of sensory processing circuits to be inferred directly from input-output observations.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\nA third contribution is an algorithm that computes the spike time sequence generated by an integrate-and-fire neuron model in response to the output of alinear filter, given the input of the filter encoded with the same neuron model.\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003ch3\u003eDetails\u003c\/h3\u003e \u003cp\u003ePublished by: Springer\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003ePublication Date: 2018-07-25\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eFormat: Paperback\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eISBN-13: 9783319860725\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eDOI: 10.1007\/978-3-319-57081-5\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eDimensions: 235cm x155cm\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003ePages: 139\u003c\/p\u003e ","brand":"Springer International Publishing","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47668129005708,"sku":"9783319860725","price":98.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0710\/9545\/1788\/files\/9783319860725.jpg?v=1776462803","url":"https:\/\/fh90cf-fv.myshopify.com\/products\/9783319860725","provider":"Late Knight Books and Services, LLC","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
