Spiking Neural Networks: Mathematical Foundations
This article presents the mathematical foundations of spiking neural networks (SNNs) in a unified formalism, with a deliberate emphasis on derivational provenance. The same neuron model is written one way in computational neuroscience textbooks, another way in machine learning papers, and a third way in the stochastic process literature. Even within a single line of work, papers absorb constants into other constants until two equations from two sources cannot be compared by inspection. We collect the core mathematics […]
