A robust model of Stimulus-Specific Adaptation validated on neuromorphic hardware
Abstract Stimulus-Specific Adaptation (SSA) to repetitive stimulation is a phenomenon that has been observed across many different species and in several brain sensory areas. It has been proposed as a computational mechanism, responsible for separating behaviorally relevant information from the cont...

Abstract Stimulus-Specific Adaptation (SSA) to repetitive stimulation is a phenomenon that has been observed across many different species and in several brain sensory areas. It has been proposed as a computational mechanism, responsible for separating behaviorally relevant information from the continuous stream of sensory information. Although SSA can be induced and measured reliably in a wide variety of conditions, the network details and intracellular mechanisms giving rise to SSA still remain unclear. Recent computational studies proposed that SSA could be associated with a fast and synchronous neuronal firing phenomenon called Population Spikes (PS). Here, we test this hypothesis using a mean-field rate model and corroborate it using a neuromorphic hardware. As the neuromorphic circuits used in this study operate in real-time with biologically realistic time constants, they can reproduce the same dynamics observed in biological systems, together with the exploration of different connectivity schemes, with complete control of the system parameter settings. Besides, the hardware permits the iteration of multiple experiments over many trials, for extended amounts of time and without losing the networks and individual neural processes being studied. Following this “neuromorphic engineering” approach, we therefore study the PS hypothesis in a biophysically inspired recurrent networks of spiking neurons and evaluate the role of different linear and non-linear dynamic computational primitives such as spike-frequency adaptation or short-term depression (STD). We compare both the theoretical mean-field model of SSA and PS to previously obtained experimental results in the area of novelty detection and observe its behavior on its neuromorphic physical equivalent model. We show how the approach proposed can be extended to other computational neuroscience modelling efforts for understanding high-level phenomena in mechanistic models. |
