A Macrocolumn Architecture Implemented with Spiking Neurons
The macrocolumn is a key component of a neuromorphic computing system that interacts with an external environment under control of an agent. Environments are learned and stored in the macrocolumn as labeled directed graphs where edges connect features and labels indicate the relative displacements between them. Macrocolumn functionality is first defined with a state machine model. This model is then implemented with a neural network composed of spiking neurons. The neuron model employs active dendrites and mirrors the Hawkins/Numenta neuron model. The architecture is demonstrated with a research benchmark in which an agent employs a macrocolumn to first learn and then navigate 2-d environments containing pseudo-randomly placed features.

MT-SNN: Spiking Neural Network that Enables Single-Tasking of Multiple Tasks
In this paper we explore capabilities of spiking neural networks in solving multi-task classification problems using the approach of single-tasking of multiple tasks. We designed and implemented a multi-task spiking neur…

We consider the task of measuring time with probabilistic threshold gates implemented by bio-inspired spiking neurons. In the model of spiking neural networks, network evolves in discrete rounds, where in each round, neu…
Vocal Bursts Valence PredictionProof-of-Spiking-Neurons(PoSN): Neuromorphic Consensus for Next-Generation Blockchains
Blockchain systems face persistent challenges of scalability, latency, and energy inefficiency. Existing consensus protocols such as Proof-of-Work (PoW) and Proof-of-Stake (PoS) either consume excessive resources or risk…
A cortical sparse distributed coding model linking mini- and macrocolumn-scale functionality
No generic function for the minicolumn, i.e., one that would apply equally well to all cortical areas and species, has yet been proposed. I propose that the minicolumn does have a generic functionality, which only become…
