Learning synfire chains: Turning noise into signal

A model of cortical neurons capable of sustaining a low level of spontaneous activity is investigated. Without learning the activity of the network is chaotic. We report on attempts to learn synfire chains in this type of network by introducing a Hebbian learning mechanism and exciting a small set o...
