Abstract
This thesis starts from the assumption that individual neuronal action potentials (spikes) have computational and dynamical significance. Two of the types of activity that networks of spiking neurons can engage in are sequences and synchrony. The first part of the work reviews the role spikes, sequences and synchrony play in coding, dynamics and learning in the nervous system and models of the nervous system. Models of spiking neurons, especially the spike response model (SRM), feature strongly, as do synfire chains, a form of spatiotemporal sequence. A methodology chapter
