Effect of the jitter for model SJ, and the spread width for model R on learning and detection. by Matthieu Gilson (153038)

“…When the pattern is presented (grey area), the soma potential rise is stronger for small , synonymous with more robust selectivity, even though detection does not completely collapse for larger values. To quantify the detection quality we used mutual information between pattern presentations and postsynaptic spikes (see Equation (26) in <a href="http://www.ploscompbiol.org/article/info:doi/10.1371/journal.pcbi.1002231#s2" target="_blank">Materials and Methods</a>): the latter decreases with . …”

Intrinsic discriminability is determined by the interplay of the dynamic encoding and the free evolution. by Fabiano Baroni (234173)
