I have some questions about rates and direct encoding that I would like to ask you. In this paper, _RATE CODING OR DIRECT CODING: WHICH ONE IS BETTER FOR ACCURATE, ROBUST, AND ENERGY-EFFICIENT SPIKING NEURAL NETWORKS?_you set the threshold voltage of each layer to 1 in both VGG5 and VGG9 networks. Can this value be decreased or increased?

Hi thanks for the question.

Sure, you can change the threshold value in the code "m.threshold = 1.0". Based on my experience, too large or too small threshold value decreases the accuracy.
