Figure 3. Architecture of the winner-take-all spiking network.

Figure 3

The network is fully connected and structured in different subpopulations of cells sharing the same connectivity and input statistics. All neurons receive background noise input modeled as independent Poisson trains. Cells in neural populations Inline graphic and Inline graphic receive in addition a Poisson train of rate Inline graphic and Inline graphic, respectively, to account for selective input. These two so-called selective populations are composed of excitatory cells strongly interconnected.
