Abstract
Techniques for the identification of a spike-processing circuit are provided. An exemplary method includes receiving spike trains corresponding to a circuit input over a time period, and selecting a number of spikes for each of input spike trains over a predetermined time window. Each of the selected spikes can be replaced with a sampled reproducing kernel to obtain a plurality of signals, and each obtained signal can correspond to one of the input spike trains. Each of the obtained signals can be passed through a plurality of receptive fields or filters to obtain an aggregate filter output signal. The filter output signal can be encoded into an output spike train, and the output spike train can correspond to a response of the circuit to the plurality of input spike trains.
