Spiking neural encoding models allow classification of real world tasks to suit for brain-machine interfaces in addition to serving as internal models. We developed a new spike encoding model inspired from cerebellum granular layer and tested different classification techniques like SVM, Naïve Bayes, MLP for training spiking neural networks to perform pattern recognition tasks on encoded datasets. As a precursor to spiking networkbased pattern recognition, in this study, real world datasets were encoded into spike trains. The objective of this study was to encode information from datasets into spiking neuron patterns that were relevant for spiking neural networks and for conventional machine learning algorithms. In this initial study, we present a new approach similar to cerebellum granular layer encoding and compared it with BSA encoding techniques. We have also compared the efficiency of the encoded dataset with different datasets and with standard machine learning algorithms.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
