Moshe Abeles (2008) Synfire chain, Scholarpedia
Synfire chain is a feed-forward layered network that propagates synchronous firing patterns. It supports stable transmission of activity. The article concentrates on the state memory that it can represent, but not a lot of computation. The encoding of different state is through different chains.
In terms of computation, the article mainly focuses on synfire chain as a solution to the binding problem. The article also mentions the role of STDP of time-locking two activated synfire chains.

What input would best demonstrate a learning and computation based on synchrony coding?
