Critical Limits in a Bump Attractor Network of Spiking Neurons
A bump attractor network is a model that implements a competitive neuronal process emerging from a spike pattern related to an input source. Since the bump network could behave in many ways, this paper explores some critical limits of the parameter space using various positive and negative weights and an increasing size of the input spike sources The neuromorphic simulation of the bumpattractor network shows that it exhibits a stationary, a splitting and a divergent spike pattern, in relation to different sets of weights and input windows. The balance between the values of positive and negative weights is important in determining the splitting or diverging behaviour of the spike train pattern and in defining the minimal firing conditions.
