Spiking neural networks have gain popularity in the last years. They have been applied for modelling cortical regions and recently in pattern recognition and image processing. In our Lab we have applied them in several pattern recognition problems and only one neuron up-perform the accuracy of a feed-forward neural network.

If you are interested on my webpage can find some of our paper about the topic
