In this work we propose a compact and sub-mW low power neural processing system that can be used to perform on-line and real-time preliminary diagnosis of pathological conditions, to raise warnings for the existence of possible pathological conditions, or to trigger an off-line data recording system for further analysis by a medical professional.

In this paper, (i) we modify SLAYER and design an algorithm called EXODUS, that accounts for the neuron reset mechanism and applies the Implicit Function Theorem (IFT) to calculate the correct gradients (equivalent to those computed by BPTT), (ii) we eliminate the need for ad-hoc scaling of gradients, thus, reducing the training complexity tremendously, (iii) we demonstrate, via computer simulations, that EXODUS is numerically stable and achieves a comparable or better performance than SLAYER especially in various tasks with SNNs that rely on temporal features.
