DISCOVERING AND USING INFORMATIVE LOOPING SIGNALS IN A PULSED NEURAL NETWORK HAVING TEMPORAL ENCODERS

摘要

Embodiments are directed to a computer network having pathways. The network includes a plurality of units configured to communicate through the pathways. The network is configured to identify informative looping signals in loops formed from a plurality of network pathways that connect a first one of the plurality of units to a second one of the plurality of units. The network is further configured to apply spike-timing dependent plasticity (STDP) dependent inhibitory gating to the plurality of network pathways. The network is further configured to phase shift open gates and close gates in the loop by applying STDP functions to open gate outputs and closed gates outputs. The network is further configured to make a rate and a direction of the phase shift dependent on a modulatory signal, wherein the modulatory signal is based at least in part on a change in the STDP inhibitory gating.
