How many neurons are sufficient for perception of cortical activity?
Many theories of brain function propose that activity in sparse subsets of neurons underlies
perception and action. To place a lower bound on the amount of neural activity that can be …

Control of criticality and computation in spiking neuromorphic networks with plasticity
The critical state is assumed to be optimal for any computation in recurrent neural networks,
because criticality maximizes a number of abstract computational properties. We challenge …

A network model of the barrel cortex combined with a differentiator detector reproduces features of the behavioral response to single-neuron stimulation
The stimulation of a single neuron in the rat somatosensory cortex can elicit a behavioral
response. The probability of a behavioral response does not depend appreciably on the …

Critical current for giant Fano factor in neural models with bistable firing dynamics and implications for signal transmission
Bistability in the firing rate is a prominent feature in different types of neurons as well as in
neural networks. We show that for a constant input below a critical value, such bistability can …
