The paper introduces the Multi-Synaptic Firing (MSF) neuron, a novel computational model for spiking neural networks (SNNs) inspired by biological multisynaptic connections. Unlike traditional models that use a single threshold, MSF neurons utilize multiple firing thresholds to simultaneously encode spatial intensity through firing rates and temporal dynamics through precise spike timing. This architecture effectively generalizes existing LIF and ReLU neurons, bridging the performance gap between artificial and spiking neural paradigms while maintaining low power consumption and latency.
