Title
Synchronizing assemblies perform magnitude-invariant pattern detection
Abstract
We show that synchronization in networks of spiking neurons reflects a particular computation on the inputs: magnitude-invariant pattern detection. By analyzing a population of mutually coupled integrate-and-fire neurons, we find that the amount of synchronization reflects the number of components which match the input weights, where the similarity threshold is set by the strength of coupling among the neurons. Possible implications for cortical information processing are discussed.
