Abstract

Forecasting the behavior of naturally occurring phenomena by the analysis of time series based data is the basis of scientific experimental design. In this paper, we consider a novel application of a Polychronous Spiking Network for the prediction of sunspot and auroral electrojet index by exploiting the inherent temporal capabilities of this spiking neural model. The performance of this network is benchmarked against two “traditional”, rateencoded, neural networks; a Multi-Layer Perceptron network and a Functional Link Neural Network. The results indicate that the inherent temporal characteristics of the Polychronous Spiking Network make it extremely well suited to the processing of time series based data.
