A Minimal Model for the Study of Polychronous Groups
  A minimal model of polychronous groups in neural networks is presented. The model is computationally efficient and allows the study of polychronous groups independent of specific neuron models. Computational experiments were performed with the model in one- and two-dimensional neural architectures to determine the dependence of the number of polychronous groups on various connectivity options. The possibility of using polychronous groups as computational elements is also discussed.
