Spiking Neural Networks

Definition

Spiking Neural Networks (SNNs) are a type of artificial neural network that more closely mimics the behavior of biological neurons, communicating through discrete events called “spikes” rather than continuous values. These networks process information asynchronously and are highly energy-efficient. In advanced computing, SNNs offer potential for novel approaches to data processing and decision-making. Their event-driven nature allows for sparse and efficient computation.
