Abstract: Neuronal systems need to process temporal signals. Here, we show how higher-order temporal (co)fluctuationscan be employed to represent and process information. Concretely, we demonstrate that a simple biologicallyinspired feedforward neuronal model can extract information from up to the third-order cumulant to performtime series classification. This model relies on a weighted linear summation of synaptic inputs followed bya nonlinear gain function. Training both the synaptic weights and the nonlinear gain function exposes how thenonlinearity allows for the transfer of higher-order correlations to the mean, which in turn enables the synergisticuse of information encoded in multiple cumulants to maximize the classification accuracy. The approach isdemonstrated both on synthetic and real-world datasets of multivariate time series. Moreover, we show thatthe biologically inspired architecture makes better use of the number of trainable parameters than a classicalmachine-learning scheme. Our findings emphasize the benefit of biological neuronal architectures, paired withdedicated learning algorithms, for the processing of information embedded in higher-order statistical cumulantsof temporal (co)fluctuations.
