Abstract

A model of spiking neuron based on the Lambert W function has been proposed. It is shown analytical dependence of spiking neuron firing time on input spikes can be obtained. Though such dependence is rather complex, it still allows of simplifying software implementation of spiking neural networks. It is demonstrated the proposed model software implementation operates faster than one of straightforward propagation of a spike through multiple synapse and soma of spiking neuron.
