Here we report on utilization of a SAM -based network for continuous function approximation, which to date has proved difficult to achieve on a LIF type spiking neural network, by using a spike coding approach called ‘NFR-coding’. We demonstrate “interpolated XOR” and 3-polynominal function approximation of this SAM network in computational experiments. It is demonstrated that the SAM network has the capability to perform these function approximations to high accuracy.}, }
