Spiking Neural Networks (SNNs) are a type of artificial neural network that are designed to more closely mimic the way biological neurons communicate in the brain. Unlike traditional artificial neural networks (ANNs) that use continuous values (such as activation functions with real-valued outputs) to process information, SNNs use discrete events called "spikes" or "action potentials" to convey information.
