In Priya Panda's talk "Spiking Neural Networks: Algorithms", she talks about two coding techniques:
1. temporal coding: higher pixel values spike first
2. rate coding: higher pixel values spike more number of times (used more frequently now)
Here, you are talking about "rate-coded". However, in module 4 "Learning through Spike-Timing Dependent Plasticity (STDP)", it seems you are using "temporal-coded" at paragraph 2. Without related knowledge, readers may think they are the same.
