  Deep learning for spiking neural networks (by electronicvisions)

  

If you are interested in deep learning with spiking neural networks there is also the norse framework: https://github.com/electronicvisions/norse

• Spiking-Neural-Network

  1 978 0.0 Python

  Pure python implementation of SNN

I'm not very familiar with deep learning. How does this compare to the biomimicking Spike Time Dependent Plasticity of spiking neural networks?

Deep Learning has nothing to do with biophysical neuron simulation, even though there is a confusing overloading of the term "neural network". A good introduction to deep learning is this chapter: https://mlstory.org/deep.html.

STDP falls under biophysical models of neuron simulation, where we try to faithfully reproduce biophysics of brain simulation (trivia: I started my undergrad in computational neuroscience and implemented STDP several times [1, 2, 3]). STDP is a learning mechanism, but it has not demonstrated the ability to learn as powerful models as DNN.
