Neuronal Spike Chaos • A wide range of spiking neuron models displays three distinct categories of behavior: • quiescence • intense periodic seizure-like activity • sustained chaos in normal operational conditions Banerjee, A. On the Phase-Space Dynamics of Systems of Spiking Neurons. I: Model and Experiments. Neural Computation, 13(1), 161-93 (2001)
Neuronal Synchrony “cortical neurons often engage in oscillatory activity which is not stimulus locked but caused by internal interactions” “activity synchronization was present in the expectation period before stimulus presentation and could not be induced de novo by the stimulus” Singer, W. Synchronization, Bining and Expectancy. In: The Handbook of Brain Theory and Neural Networks, pp. 1136-43 (2003) Cardoso de Oliviera, S., Thiele, A. and Hoffmann, K.P. Synchronization of neuronal activity during stimulus expectation in a direction discrimination task. J. Neurosci., 17, 9248-60 (1997)

Deterministic Chaos Logistic map: Ф(t+1) = A Ф(t) (1-Ф(t)) Phase φ = 2πФ
Coupling of the Phases “Net input” to neuron k: For rates:Σj wkj rj weighted field For phases: Σj wkj rj eiφ≡ zkwf } j } complex number coupling strength for phases
Relaxation of the Phases Compute “net input”: zkwf = Σj wkj rj eiφ j From zwf, take phase φwf Compute new phase: Фk(t+1) = A Фkwf(t) (1-Фkwf(t)) (remember: φ = 2πФ)
Relaxation of Rates and Phases Phase of any neuron behaves chaotically Coupled neurons have similar phases

Plans and Questions • - The higher hierarchical level shall benefit! • Should the rates depend on the phases? • → This would influence learning! • Learning with Phase Timing Dependent Plasticity?
