Neuromorphic processing apparatus is provided. The present invention may include a spiking neural network comprising a set of input spiking neurons each connected to each of a set of output spiking neurons via a respective synapse for storing a synaptic weight which is adjusted for that synapse in dependence on network operation in a learning mode of the apparatus, and each synapse is operable to provide a post-synaptic signal, dependent on its synaptic weight, to its respective output neuron. The present invention may further include a pre-processor unit adapted to process input data, defining a pattern of data points, to produce a first set of input spike signals which encode values representing respective data points, and a second set of input spike signals which encode values complementary to respective said values representing data points, and to supply the input spike signals to respective predetermined input neurons of the network.
