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.
STATrack is a fully spiking neural network designed for UAV visual tracking using only RGB inputs, eliminating the need for costly event cameras. It introduces Adaptive Mutual Information Maximization (AMIM) to preserve fine-grained target information in deep spiking representations and a sample-difficulty-aware dynamic weighting strategy to adjust the mutual‑information constraint during training. Experiments on four UAV tracking benchmarks show that STATrack achieves state‑of‑the‑art performance while maintaining low theoretical energy consumption.

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.
SBMVTrack is a fully spiking neural network framework designed for energy-efficient UAV visual tracking. It introduces Energy-Weighted Spike Budgeting (EWSB) to constrain spike activity based on computational cost, and Masked Multi-View Target Modeling (MVTM) to enhance target representation by leveraging correlated temporal views. Experiments on multiple benchmarks show that SBMVTrack reduces spike firing rates and theoretical energy consumption while maintaining competitive tracking accuracy.
