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...
