Table 4.

Synapse parameters of the SNN model depicted in (Fig. 1d).

Parameter Value Description
τmem 15.2 ms Time constant of the neuron’s membrane potential. A value of 3.5 pA is set to the bias Iτ to achieve this time constant.
τahp 35.7 ms Time constant of the neuron’s after-hyperpolarizing potential. A value of 1 pA is set to the bias Iτahp to achieve this time constant.
τexc min: 3 ms max: 6 ms Time constant of the excitatory synapses. This time constant determines the cutoff frequency of the DPIs receiving the UP spikes. To get this these values we set the bias Iτexc in the range 8.9-17.8 pA
τinh min: 2 ms max: 5.7 ms Time constant of the inhibitory synapses. This time constant determines the cutoff frequency of the DPI receiving the DN spikes. To get this these values we set the bias Iτinh in the range 9.4-26.8 pA
wexc 1 or 2 nA With these weight values and the parameters mentioned above, the silicon neurons need a
winh −1 or −2 nA minimum of 14 input excitatory spikes at a rate of 3kHz to generate a single spike.
