Automated identification of data-consistent spiking neural network models
Richard Gao, Michael Deistler, Jakob Macke · COSYNE 2023
Variations in cellular and network parameters shape neural dynamics and computation. Mechanistic models, such as spiking neural networks (SNNs), are instrumental for linking recordings of neural population dynamics to their underlying circuit parameters. However, SNNs lack analytical expressions and accessible gradients for parameter inference (i.e., model identification), making it difficult to systematically identify a single configuration that can reproduce experimental data, let alone the full space of data-consistent models and their uncertainty. As a result, SNNs are often reduced a prio
