Wave Propagation

[pdf manuscript] Implementation of the wave-propagation process in detail.

The traveling-wave process consists of a passive, sub-threshold propagation process and a spiking mechanism, which ensures active (continuous) wave propagation. This can be emulated by a (single) layer of interconnected integrate-and-fire neurons, whose spike mechanism includes a refractory period to ensure forward propagation (Koch 1999; Rasche 2007):

Example for a point:

Example for two images:

If the temporal evolvement is held in an image you end up with a ‘landscape’.

Here an example for simple shapes:

On the right you see that the veins correspond to the symmetric axes!
