With significant improvements in large-scale simulations of brain models, there is a growing need to develop tools for rapid analysis and interpreting the simulation results. In this work, we explore the potential of sequential deep learning models to understand and explain the network dynamics among the neurons extracted from a large-scale neural simulation in STACS (Simulation Tool for Asynchronous Cortical Stream). Our method employs a representative neuroscience model that abstracts the cortical dynamics with a reservoir of randomly connected spiking neurons with a low stable spike firing rate throughout the simulation duration. We subsequently analyze the spike dynamics of the simulated spiking neural network through an autoencoder model and an attention-based mechanism.
