Synaptic modification: STP, LTP, and STDP
- One of the problems with working with lots of technologies
under development is that things aren't always ready.
- One problem we have is that the learning mechanisms that
work in Nest, don't work on SpiNNaker.
- Our Java parser did binding with STP. The Nest STP model
is Tsodykys-Markram, which doesn't seem to be STP to me.
- We could bind in a fashion with that, but that's not yet
ready on SpiNNaker.
- Similarly, any form of learning reduces the numbers of neurons
per chip.
- So we've not explored LTP (STDP) in PyNN.
- Eventually, we should be able to put our own STP and LTP algorithms
onto PyNN and then onto the chips. For that matter we should
be able to put our neural model on.
- We'll look into that in the new year.
