Abstract

This chapter presents a new supervised temporal learning rule for multilayer spiking neural networks. We present and analyze the mechanisms utilized in the network for the construction of causal connections. Synaptic efficacies are finely tuned for resulting in a desired post-synaptic firing status. Both the PSD rule and the tempotron rule are extended to multiple layers, leading to new rules of multilayer PSD (MutPSD) and multilayer tempotron (MutTmptr). The algorithms are applied successfully to classic linearly non-separable benchmarks like the XOR and the Iris problems.
