Abstract
We investigate through theoretical analysis and computer simulations
the consequences of unreliable synapses for fast analog computations
in networks of spiking neurons, with analog variables encoded by the
current firing activities of pools of spiking neurons. Our results
suggest a possible functional role for the well-established unreliability
of synaptic transmission on the network level. We also investigate
computations on time series and Hebbian learning in this context of
space-rate coding in networks of spiking neurons with unreliable synapses.
