Abbreviations: DN divisive normalisation, SNN spiking neural network, ANN artificial neural network, BPTT backpropagation through time, AUROC area under the receiver operator curve, and AUPRC area under the precision recall curve. While performance still lags the state of the art, these results encourage further development considering the compact size of our BPTT trained SNNs.
