A. The input spikes, xti, are one of the main drivers of the activity of our RSNN. They are 300 Poisson neurons, where the first 100encode the whisker stimulus, the next 100 encode the auditory cue and the last 100 act as an extra noise source for our model. Out of the 300 neurons, 60 of them are inhibitory (red). The input neurons project unrestrictedly to the whole RSNN. The baseline firing rate of all input neurons is 5 Hz.
