WaLiN-GUI: a graphical and auditory tool for neuron-based encoding
Neuromorphic computing relies on spike-based, energy-efficient communication, inherently implying the need for conversion between real-valued (sensory) data and binary, sparse spiking representation. This is usually accomplished using the real valued data as current input to a spiking neuron model, and tuning the neuron's parameters to match a desired, often biologically inspired behaviour. We developed a tool, the WaLiN-GUI, that supports the investigation of neuron models and parameter combinations to identify suitable configurations for neuron-based encoding of sample-based data into spike trains. Due to the generalized LIF model implemented by default, next to the LIF and Izhikevich neuron models, many spiking behaviors can be investigated out of the box, thus offering the possibility of tuning biologically plausible responses to the input data. The GUI is provided open source and with documentation, being easy to extend with further neuron models and personalize with data analysis functions.
