Active Spiking Perception: The Membrane Potential as a Belief State for Anytime 3D Point Cloud Recognition

arXiv:2608. 19232v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Spiking point cloud networks usually scan space in a fixed, input-agnostic order, which leaves the most distinctive resource of spiking computation, the temporal evolution of the membrane potential, unused as a locus of decision-making.

Learning the Brain's Dynamics as a Port-Hamiltonian System: A GNN-Surrogate Metriplectic Twin for Non-Equilibrium Cortical Dynamics and Closed-Loop Neuromodulation

arXiv:2607. 10439v2 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: We model human motor cortex, recorded during rest and motor-imagery BCI conditions, as a port-Hamiltonian system: a conservative interconnection (skew-symmetric coupling between band-limited neural phasors) together with a dissipative port whose state-dependent decay is set by a graph-neural-network surrogate.

CANNs: A Toolkit for Research on Continuous Attractor Neural Networks

arXiv:2606. 27783v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Continuous attractor neural networks (CANNs) are the canonical computational framework for how the brain encodes continuous variables such as spatial position, head direction, and movement direction, and explain the activity of hippocampal place cells, entorhinal grid cells, and head-direction cells.

A discrete generative model of neuronal spiking activity on microelectrode arrays

The paper presents a discrete generative model for neuronal spiking activity recorded on microelectrode arrays. It uses a shared vocabulary of spatiotemporal motifs learned by a residual vector‑quantized autoencoder and predicts motif occurrence with a factorized masked transformer. Evaluated on 31 assays from human brain organoids and ex vivo hippocampal tissue, the model achieves superior reconstruction and generation performance compared to baselines and shows that motifs are largely reused across assays.

SpikeMoE: Brain-Inspired Competitive Routing for Flexible Spiking Mixture-of-Experts

SpikeMoE introduces a spike-based k‑WTA router that uses lateral inhibition and refractory periods to select the top‑K experts based on discrete spike counts, inspired by hippocampal CA1 competition. The framework combines spiking neural network dynamics with mixture‑of‑experts conditional computation and adds a two‑stage missing‑modality module for robust multimodal processing. Experiments on vision, language, and multimodal tasks show that SpikeMoE matches or surpasses ANN baselines while offering energy‑efficient performance.
