I'm on the latest episode of Brain Inspired talking about #Neuroscience, #SpikingNeuralNetworks, #MachineLearning and #Metascience! Thanks Paul Middlebrooks (not on Mastodon I think) for the invite and the extremely fun conversation. For the explanation of why this picture you'll have to listen to the episode. 😉

Also, if you're not yet listening to Brain Inspired you should be - and support Paul on Patreon. He provides this free for the community with no adverts. What a hero!

We are finally on Mastodon, time for a little #introduction 👋 !

Brian is a #FOSS simulator for biological #SpikingNeuralNetworks, for research in #ComputationalNeuroscience and beyond. It makes it easy to go from a high-level model description in Python, based on mathematical equations and physical units, to a simulation running efficiently on the CPU or GPU.

We have a friendly community and extensive documentation, links to everything on our homepage: https://briansimulator.org

This account will mostly announce news (releases, other notable events), but we're also looking forward to discussing with y'all 💬

#newpaper on "Learning heterogeneous delays of spiking neurons for motion detection"

We build a #SpikingNeuralNetworks with heterogeneous delays, that is with the capacity integrating a spatiotemporally structured spiking history...

Results show excellent accuracy, and especially the capacity of performing this computation much more economically, up to 500 less ! Another step for more #frugal computations and hopefully a better understanding of neural computations.

A video abstract for the paper

neuralreckoning, 10 months ago to Neuroscience

For all you lovers of #SpikingNeuralNetworks out there, make sure to put November 7-8 in your diary and submit a 300 word abstract to SNUFA 2023:

https://snufa.net/2023

Invited speakers this year include:
⭐ Rodolphe Sepulchre
⭐ Melika Payvand
⭐ Gabriel Ocker
⭐ Jeff Krichmar

In previous years we usually get over 700 participants, and about 200 live at each talk. Not to mention hundreds to thousands of views after the event on Youtube. Best of all - it's all free so there's really no reason you shouldn't already be writing your abstract.

And if you're still not convinced, check out previous years' talks and our monthly seminar series on my Youtube channel: https://www.youtube.com/@neuralreckoning

What are you waiting for, get on over there:
