Temporal Binding by Short-Term Synaptic Plasticity
Ernst Odolphi

Abstract:
This thesis introduces a novel way of performing temporal binding in a
network of biologically plausible spiking neurons. The neurons in the
network are connected through synapses with short-term synaptic
plasticity.  By synchronously activating multiple patterns, the
network stabilizes into a state where these multiple patterns quickly
oscillate between an active and inactive state.
  Using this method a simple Hopfield-like auto-associative network is
created that can retrieve multiple patterns at the same time, binding
neurons to a pattern by a slow variant of temporal binding.
