Feed-forward and recurrent inhibition for compressing and classifying high dynamic range biosignals in spiking neural network architectures
2023 IEEE Biomedical Circuits and Systems Conference (BioCAS)(2023)
摘要
Neuromorphic processors that implement Spiking Neural Networks (SNNs) using mixed-signal analog/digital circuits represent a promising technology for closed-loop real-time processing of biosignals. As in biology, to minimize power consumption, the silicon neurons' circuits are configured to fire with a limited dynamic range and with maximum firing rates restricted to a few tens or hundreds of Herz. However, biosignals can have a very large dynamic range, so encoding them into spikes without saturating the neuron outputs represents an open challenge. In this work, we present a biologically-inspired strategy for compressing this high-dynamic range in SNN architectures, using three adaptation mechanisms ubiquitous in the brain: spike-frequency adaptation at the single neuron level, feed-forward inhibitory connections from neurons belonging to the input layer, and Excitatory-Inhibitory (E-I) balance via recurrent inhibition among neurons in the output layer. We apply this strategy to input biosignals encoded using both an asynchronous delta modulation method and an energy-based pulse-frequency modulation method. We validate this approach in silico, simulating a simple network applied to a gesture classification task from surface EMG recordings.
