Neural heterogeneity promotes robust learning

The authors show that heterogeneity in spiking neural networks improves accuracy and robustness of prediction for complex information processing tasks, results in optimal parameter distribution similar to experimental data and is metabolically efficient for learning tasks at varying timescales.
