STDP learning rule

The stdp learning rules look real-time. It's different from what I know, can you explain why you made it like this?

The STDP (Spike-Timing Dependent Plasticity) learning rules in Neucube Py are implemented in a real-time manner to closely mimic biological neural processes, where synaptic updates occur immediately as spikes are received. This approach allows the model to capture dynamic spatio-temporal patterns more effectively, reflecting how learning happens in actual neural circuits. Real-time STDP can also improve the responsiveness and adaptability of the reservoir to streaming or sequential data, which is a key advantage for many practical applications involving time series or event-based inputs.
