communicate with spikes, which are discrete events intime
and value. They often show optimal computational performance
close toa transition to rate-chaos; chaos that is driven by
local and smooth averagesof the discrete activity.We here
analyze microscopic and rate chaos in discretely-coupled
networksof binary neurons by a model-independent field
theory. We find a stronglynetwork size-dependent transition
to microscopic chaos and a chaoticsubmanifold that spans
only a finite fraction of the entire activity space.Rate
chaos is shown to be impossible in these networks.Applying
stimuli to a strongly microscopically chaotic binary
networkthat acts as a reservoir, one observes a transient
expansion of thedimensionality of the representing neuronal
space. Crucially, the numberof dimensions corrupted by noise
lags behind the informative dimensions.This translates to a
transient peak in the networks' classification
performanceeven deeply in the chaotic regime, extending the
view that computationalperformance is always optimal near
the edge of chaos. Classificationperformance peaks rapidly
within one activation per neuron, demonstratingfast
event-based computation. The generality of this mechanism
isunderlined by simulations of spiking networks of leaky
integrate-and fireneurons.1. Keup, Kuehn, Dahmen, Helias
