(a) Percentage of successful trials as a function of the pattern frequency (pattern duration/the total duration, given a fixed pattern length of 50 ms). The pattern needs to be consistently present, at least at the beginning, for the STDP to start the learning process. (b) Percentage of successful trials as a function of jitter. For jitter greater than 3 ms spike coincidences are lost and the STDP weight updates are inaccurate, so the learning is impaired (c) Percentage of successful trials as a function of the proportion of afferents involved in the pattern. Performance is good if this proportion is above 1/3 (d) Percentage of successful trials as a function of the initial weights. With a high value the neuron can handle more discharges outside the pattern. (e) Percentage of successful trials as a function of the proportion of spikes deleted. With a 10% deletion the pattern was correctly learnt in 82% of the cases.
