Spike-timing Dependent Plasticity and Mutual Information Maximization for a Spiking Neuron Model
We derive an optimal learning rule in the sense of mutual information maximization for a spiking neuron model. Under the assumption of small fluctuations of the input, we find a s...

Reinforcement Learning, Spike-Time-Dependent Plasticity, and the BCM Rule
Learning agents, whether natural or artificial, must update their internal parameters in order to improve their behavior over time. In reinforcement learning, this plasticity is ...

Maximising Sensitivity in a Spiking Network
We use unsupervised probabilistic machine learning ideas to try to explain the kinds of learning observed in real neurons, the goal being to connect abstract principles of self-or...

Reducing Spike Train Variability: A Computational Theory Of Spike-Timing Dependent Plasticity
Experimental studies have observed synaptic potentiation when a presynaptic neuron fires shortly before a postsynaptic neuron, and synaptic depression when the presynaptic neuron ...

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 spiketiming-dependent plasticity (...
