First of all, merry christmas to everyone on devrant.

Second, another interesting paper--this time on pattern classification using piecewise linear functions vs classic spiking neural nets.

Supposedly it was a *six million* percent improvement in computation time, versus the spiking simulation. Thats my five minute overview of the document anyway.

Highly unusual application (hadn't seen it done before now but maybe I'm unfamiliar). Check it out:
