A Tutorial on Spiking Neural Networks for Beginners

SNN was introduced by the researchers at Heidelberg University and the University of Bern developing as a fast and energy-efficient technique for computing using spiking neuromorphic substrates. In this article, we will mostly discuss Spiking Neural Network as a variant of neural network. We will also try to understand how is it different from the traditional neural networks. Below is a list of the important topics to be tackled. Let's start the discussion by understanding what is Spiking Neural Network is. Artificial neural networks that closely mimic natural neural networks are known as spiking neural networks (SNNs).
