Type: article

Abstract: Specific neural coding (SNC) forms the basis of information processing in bio-brain, which generates distinct patterns of neural coding in response to corresponding exterior forms of stimulus. The performance of SNC is extremely dependent on brain-inspired models. However, the bio-rationality of a brain-inspired model remains inadequate. The purpose of this paper is to investigate a more bio-rational brain-inspired model and the SNC of this brain-inspired model. In this study, we construct a complex spiking neural network (CSNN) in which its topology has the small-word property and the scale-free property. Then, we investigated the SNC of CSNN under various strengths of various stimuli and discussed its mechanism. Our results indicate that (1) CSNN has similar neural time coding under same kind of stimulus; (2) CSNN has significant SNC based on time coding under various exterior stimuli; (3) our discussion implies that the inherent factor of SNC is synaptic plasticity.
