Spike-timing-based rules are built to model the behavior of a region on the brain related to experimental data in neuroscience, therefore can lead to differences in the moment of implementing the rule within a spiking network. This work compares the performance of a pair-wise and a triplet STDP with different spike interactions to clear an MNIST classification task. A bio-inspired preprocessing stage was implemented that consisted of a Gabor filter (as a model of the simple cells mechanism orientation selectivity) and an input normalization for a homogeneous brightness level of each image. The highlights of this work are 1) The consistent improvement of the model accuracy whenever they added the Gabor filter to the inputs; 2) The input normalization to prevent the overfitting of the model; 3) The Gabor filter helps to correct decoding of some images of the dataset on the evaluation test UR - https://drive.google.com/file/d/1jUWURFzAfflbH7JzGXP1qUD80Qc8-kcS/view?usp=sharing ER -
