A robust model of Stimulus-Specific Adaptation validated on neuromorphic hardware.

ABSTRACT: Stimulus-Specific Adaptation (SSA) to repetitive stimulation is a phenomenon that has been observed across many different species and in several brain sensory areas. It has been proposed as a computational mechanism, responsible for separating behaviorally relevant information from the continuous stream of sensory information. Although SSA can be induced and measured reliably in a wide variety of conditions, the network details and intracellular mechanisms giving rise to SSA still remain unclear. Recent computational studies proposed that SSA could be associated with a fast and synchronous neuronal firing phenomenon called Population Spikes (PS). Here, we test this hypothesis using a mean-field rate model and corroborate it using a neuromorphic hardware. As the neuromorphic circuits used i
