Abstract: Aspects of the present disclosure relate to methods and apparatus for training an artificial nervous system. According to certain aspects, timing of spikes of an artificial neuron during a training iteration are recorded, the spikes of the artificial neuron are replayed according to the recorded timing, during a subsequent training iteration, and parameters associated with the artificial neuron are updated based, at least in part, on the subsequent training iteration.

Abstract: Certain aspects of the present disclosure support operating simultaneously multiple super neuron processing units in an artificial nervous system, wherein a plurality of artificial neurons is assigned to each super neuron processing unit. The super neuron processing units can be interfaced with a memory for storing and loading synaptic weights and plasticity parameters of the artificial nervous system, wherein organization of the memory allows contiguous memory access.

Abstract: Methods and apparatus are provided for implementing delays in an artificial nervous system. Synaptic and/or axonal delays between a post-synaptic artificial neuron and one or more pre-synaptic artificial neurons may be accounted for at the post-synaptic artificial neuron. One example method for managing delay between neurons in an artificial nervous system generally includes receiving, at a post-synaptic artificial neuron, input current values from one or more pre-synaptic artificial neurons; accounting for delays between the one or more pre-synaptic artificial neurons and the post-synaptic artificial neuron at the post-synaptic artificial neuron; and determining a state of the post-synaptic artificial neuron based at least in part on at least a portion of the input current values, according to the accounting.
