  By referring to Figs. 1, and 2, it will be seen that the spiking pieces are all in place along the edges of the " tees " of beams and girders.
Associated with or causing one or more sudden sharp increases.

  The presence of background material often increases the difficulty level for analysis because the background may hide the spiking chemicals or may even react with the spiking chemicals.

  The spikes in every 2 x 2 non-overlapping region of the convolutional maps are summed up and normalized by the kernel size (4 for a 2 x 2 kernel) to produce the pooled output maps, which are then fed to a layer of Integrate and Fire (IF) spiking neurons to generate the pooled spike maps.
- 2023, Nitish V. Thakor, Handbook of Neuroengineering, page 1466:
  Other neuron models exist which us mathematical abstractions to model the dynamics of various spiking behaviors.

spiking

spiking (plural spikings)
