The computer simulation results for this pulse coupled model are depicted in Fig.5.4.2.5Neural activities V.S. time2The winnerNeural activities1.510.5The loser00 5 10 15 20 25 30TimeFig. 5.4 The pulse coupled realization compared with the continuousIn this example, we can observe that the pulse coupled network preserves the samecompetitive behavior as the continuous network. “It shows nicely that informationabout a time dependent signal can indeed be conveyed by spike timing [12].” In thiscase, the temporal average <strong>of</strong> the outputs are very close to the outputs <strong>of</strong> the continuousmodel. Consequently it is possible to retain all the desirable properties <strong>of</strong> the continuousnetwork with pulse coupled realizations.However, if we choose θ = 0.8τ , A = 8 and T p = 0.1τ instead, the pulse coupledmodel does not exhibit the same competitive behavior any more, as shown in Fig.5.5.41
