DESCRIPTION:Using a simple model of a spiking neuron we show how to constr
 uct a distributed phase code.  This type of code uses the firing time of a
  neuron relative to other neurons firing to represent information.  We sho
 w that the network is able to do: pattern completion\, simultaneous recall
 \, 1-D line attractors\, 2-D plane attractors. (Much of the work is inspir
 ed by Seb Will´s 2004 dissertation\, but with several extensions.)\n\nThe
  last 20 minutes will look at work-in-progress that maps analogue inputs (
 e.g. sensory input) into a distributed phase code.
