Abstract
This paper surveys recent findings in neuroscience regarding the behavioral relevancy of the precise timing with which real spiking neurons emit spikes. The literature suggests that in almost any system where the processing-speed of a neural (sub)-system is required to be high, the timing of single spikes can be very precise and reliable. Additionally, new, more refined methods are finding precisely timed spikes where previously none where found. This line of evidence thus provides additional motivation for researching the computational properties of networks of artificial spiking neurons that compute with more precisely timed spikes.
