We model the propagation of neural activity through a feedforward
network consisting of layers of integrate-and-fire neurons. In the
presence of a noisy background current and spontaneous background
firing, firing rate modulations are transmitted linearly through many
layers, with a delay proportional to the synaptic time constant and
with little distortion. Single neuron properties and firing statistics
are in agreement with physiological data. The proposed mode of
propagation allows for fast computation with population coding based on
firing rates, as is demonstrated with a local motion detector.
Key words:
rate coding; sensory processing; propagation; integrate-and-fire neurons; network models; synfire models; population
