Implementing intelligent learning systems on low- power edge devices is challenging due to the high compu- tational complexity, training latency, and energy demands of traditional Artificial Neural Networks (ANNs). Spiking Neural Networks (SNNs), biologically plausible and spike-driven, come as an alternative. However, SNN training commonly relies on backpropagation through time (BPTT), which is computationally expensive, inherently global, and unsuitable for battery-driven devices. This work proposes a novel local learning framework for multi-layered SNNs inspired by Neural Activity Synchronization (NAS). Each layer updates its own weights using locally com- puted gradients. No gradient backpropagation is needed. This significantly reduces computational complexity, training latency, and energy consumption. The proposed SNN model is trained and evaluated on the MNIST dataset, achieving a classification accuracy of 97.78%. The model is also analyzed with Gaussian and salt-and-pepper noise, demonstrating robust performance across different noise levels.
