Hey all, I decided that I’d like to see what I can do to attract more viewers…and maybe even comments if I’m lucky. However, I want those viewers to see the content that is intended for larger consumption…and this blog has been kind of a mix of personal and project. So I decided to start a Posterous blog. It looks like it’s about the easiest kind of blog to use…I don’t need hundreds of features like you can get with WordPress. I need a low bar for difficulty to update. The primary method for updating posts on a Posterous blog is to email post@posterous.com with your next blog entry. Go ahead and try it, it’ll start a blog with just one email.

Anyway, if anyone is still here, my new project blog is here: http://nicholaspatrick.posterous.com

Continuing down the path of defining a BNF for the definition of a spiking neural network (SNN), layers with different properties could expand the capability of the SNN. For instance, an SNN with only spike time dependent potentiation (STDP) is not likely to have the capabilities of a network with both short and long term synaptic modification rules. Yet it could provide some flexibility to the network as a whole to have both types of synapse modification available simultaneously.
