The paper introduces a Bayesian control framework that merges spike-based neural dynamics with probabilistic inference for adaptive control. It applies this brain-inspired model to the mountain car parking problem, showing that the controller can update states in real time and generate goal-directed action plans via spike-driven dynamics. The results suggest the model could serve as a bridge between computational neuroscience and probabilistic control theory.
The article explores how biological learning and decision-making, often modeled as Bayesian processes, can be replicated in computing systems by leveraging noisy neural and synaptic dynamics for stochastic sampling. It proposes a biologically grounded framework where internal energy functions capture uncertainty over latent states and model parameters, enabling predictive coding networks to perform Markov chain Monte Carlo sampling. By drawing parallels between intrinsic biological noise and electrical noise in emerging probabilistic analogue memory technologies, the authors argue that analogue in‑memory computing hardware offers a massively scalable and energy‑efficient solution for probabilistic inference.

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.

REACT is a fully spiking state‑space model that processes raw event‑camera data one event at a time, avoiding temporal accumulation and its associated delay. It employs a complex‑valued spiking neuron (C‑SiLIF) whose dynamics are driven by the inter‑event interval, enabling continuous‑time state updates at microsecond resolution. Evaluated on gesture recognition and time‑to‑collision estimation, REACT achieves low latency (4.6 ms) and high accuracy, supports anytime prediction, zero‑shot transfer, and INT8 quantization, dramatically reducing energy consumption.
