The Spike Frequency Modulation (SFM) Theory for Neuroinformatics and Cognitive Cybernetics
Pages 2220 - 2224
Abstract
One of the fundamental problems in neurology and neuroinformatics is whether the neural signals in human nerves systems are digital or analogue. This paper presents a novel neural signaling theory of Spike Frequency Modulation (SFM), which explains the nature of neural signals and their transformation in the nervous systems of the brain. Mathematical models of the unified signals of neural spikes across the sensory, associate and motor neurons are formally described. The time-divided mechanism for neural signal transmission and the space-divided mechanism for neural semantic representation in human nervous systems are rigorously explained. A set of experimental simulations demonstrates the SFM theory and the cognitive mechanisms of the neural pathways and networks. The SFM theory reveals the neurological and cognitive foundations of both natural and artificial neural networks for brain-inspired systems and engineering applications.

Frequency selectivity emerging from spike-timing-dependent plasticity
Periodic neuronal activity has been observed in various areas of the brain, from lower sensory to higher cortical levels. Specific frequency components contained in this periodic activity can be identified by a neuronal circuit that behaves as a ...
Modulation of spike and burst rate in a minimal neuronal circuit with feed-forward inhibition
Pyramidal cells perform computations on their inputs within the context of the local network. The present computational study investigates the consequences of feed-forward inhibition for the firing rate and reliability of a typical hippocampal pyramidal ...
Reinforcement Learning Through Modulation of Spike-Timing-Dependent Synaptic Plasticity
The persistent modification of synaptic efficacy as a function of the relative timing of pre- and postsynaptic spikes is a phenomenon known as spike-timing-dependent plasticity (STDP). Here we show that the modulation of STDP by a global reward signal ...
