We investigate generic models for cortical microcircuits,
i.e. recurrent circuits of integrate-and fire neurons with dynamic
synapses. These complex dynamic systems subserve the amazing
information processing capabilities of the cortex, but are at the
present time very little understood. We analyze the transient dynamics
of models for neural microcircuits from the point of view of one or
two readout neurons that collapse the high dimensional transient
dynamics of a neural circuit into a 1- or 2--dimensional output
stream. See paper for more and details.
