The inputs to a network of spiking neurons are encoded in the
time differences between a spike and a reference
time point.
The output is also encoded by the time difference between an
output spike and some other reference time point. The
reference time points can be given by other spikes
but also through other mechanisms, e.g. background oscillations.
