1. An apparatus configured to process input signals in spiking network, the network comprising an excitatory and an inhibitory neuron, the apparatus comprising: a storage apparatus configured to store said spiking network; logic, in data communication with said storage apparatus, said logic configured to: based on an excitatory response by the excitatory neuron: strengthen a connection communicating the excitatory response to the inhibitory neuron; and strengthen a connection communicating an inhibitory response from the inhibitory neuron; and based on the inhibitory response by the inhibitory neuron: weaken the connection communicating the excitatory response to the inhibitory neuron; and weaken the connection communicating the inhibitory response from the inhibitory neuron.
