Abstract
This paper investigates how layers of spiking neurons can be connected using lateral inhibition in different ways to bring about synchrony, reduce noise, and extract or enhance features. To illustrate the effects of the various
connectivity regimes spectro-temporal speech data in the form
of isolated digits is employed. The speech samples are preprocessed
using the Lyon’s Passive Ear cochlear model, and then encoded into tonotopically arranged spike arrays using the BSA spiker algorithm. The spike arrays are then subjected to various lateral inhibitory connectivity regimes configured
by two connectivity parameters, namely connection length and
neighbourhood size. The combination of these parameters are
demonstrated to produce various effects such as transient
synchrony, reduction of noisy spikes, and sharpening of spectrotemporal
features
