## 💻 Usage Example
|
||||
|
||||
```javascript
|
||||
const { createFeedforwardSNN, rateEncoding } = require('./lib/SpikingNeuralNetwork');
|
||||
|
||||
// Create 3-layer network
|
||||
const snn = createFeedforwardSNN([25, 20, 4], {
|
||||
dt: 1.0, // 1ms time step
|
||||
tau: 20.0, // 20ms time constant
|
||||
a_plus: 0.005, // STDP learning rate
|
||||
lateral_inhibition: true // Winner-take-all
|
||||
});
|
||||
|
||||
// Define pattern (5x5 pixels)
|
||||
const pattern = [
|
||||
1, 1, 1, 1, 1,
|
||||
1, 0, 0, 0, 1,
|
||||
1, 0, 0, 0, 1,
|
||||
1, 0, 0, 0, 1,
|
||||
1, 1, 1, 1, 1
|
||||
];
|
||||
|
||||
// Train network
|
||||
for (let t = 0; t < 100; t++) {
|
||||
const input_spikes = rateEncoding(pattern, snn.dt, 100);
|
||||
snn.step(input_spikes);
|
||||
}
|
||||
|
||||
// Get output
|
||||
const output = snn.getOutput();
|
||||
console.log('Output spikes:', output);
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
## 🏗️ Architecture
|
||||
|
||||
```
|
||||
Input Layer (25)
|
||||
↓ (STDP learning)
|
||||
Hidden Layer (20)
|
||||
↓ (STDP learning, lateral inhibition)
|
||||
Output Layer (4)
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
**Components**:
|
||||
- **LIF Neurons**: Membrane dynamics with spike threshold
|
||||
- **Synaptic Connections**: Weight matrices with STDP plasticity
|
||||
- **Lateral Inhibition**: Competition for pattern selectivity
|
||||
|
||||
## ⚡ SIMD Optimization
|
||||
|
||||
Native C++ addon uses explicit SIMD intrinsics:
|
||||
|
||||
```cpp
|
||||
// Process 4 neurons simultaneously
|
||||
__m128 v = _mm_loadu_ps(&voltages[i]);
|
||||
__m128 i = _mm_loadu_ps(¤ts[i]);
|
||||
__m128 dv = _mm_mul_ps(i, r_vec);
|
||||
v = _mm_add_ps(v, dv);
|
||||
_mm_storeu_ps(&voltages[i], v);
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
**Techniques**:
|
||||
- Loop unrolling (4-way)
|
||||
- SSE/AVX vectorization
|
||||
- Cache-friendly memory access
|
||||
- Branchless operations

||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
### Troubleshooting
|
||||
|
||||
**Issue**: Build fails with "node-gyp not found"

||||
```bash
|
||||
npm install -g node-gyp
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
**Issue**: "command not found: python"

||||
# Ubuntu: apt-get install python3
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
**Issue**: Native addon not loading
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
# Check build output
|
||||
ls build/Release/snn_simd.node
|
||||
|

## 🧠 How Spiking Neural Networks Work
|
||||
|
||||
### Biological Inspiration
|
||||
|
||||
Real neurons communicate via **discrete spike events**:
|
||||
|
||||
```
|
||||
Neuron receives input → Membrane potential rises
|
||||
If potential exceeds threshold → Spike!
|
||||
After spike → Reset to resting potential
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
### STDP Learning
|
||||
|
||||
**Spike timing matters**:
|
||||
|
||||
```
|
||||
Pre-neuron spikes BEFORE post-neuron:
|
||||
→ Strengthen synapse (LTP) ✅
|
||||
|
||||
Post-neuron spikes BEFORE pre-neuron:
|
||||
→ Weaken synapse (LTD) ❌
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
This implements **Hebbian learning**: "Neurons that fire together, wire together"
|
||||
|
||||
### Why SNNs?
|
||||
|
||||
**Advantages over traditional ANNs**:
|
||||
- ⚡ **Energy efficient**: Sparse, event-driven computation
|
||||
- 🧠 **Biologically realistic**: Model actual brain dynamics
|
||||
- ⏱️ **Temporal coding**: Natural for time-series data
|
||||
- 🎯 **Online learning**: Learn continuously without batches
