I created a #CookieCutter project template for #ComputationalModelling using #NeuroML

(You can use it for non NeuroML models too, or modify it for your own templates)

New preprint! What happens if you add neuromodulation to spiking neural networks and let them go wild with it? TLDR: it can improve performance especially in challenging sensory processing tasks.

If you're seeing your #NEST simulator builds fail recently, it's because of a new #Cython release:

https://github.com/nest/nest-simulator/issues/3495

Workaround: fix `cython<3.1.0` for the moment (until new NEST releases with the fix are made)

We are very happy to provide a consolidated update on the #NeuroML ecosystem in our @eLife paper, “The NeuroML ecosystem for standardized multi-scale modeling in neuroscience”: https://doi.org/10.7554/eLife.95135.3

#NeuroML is a standard and software ecosystem for data-driven biophysically detailed #ComputationalModelling endorsed by the @INCF and CoMBINE, and includes a large community of users and software developers.

It’s actually very easy and straightforward setting up a large-scale, multi-population #SpikingNeuralNetwork (#SNN) with the #NESTsimulator. Here is an example with two distinct populations of #Izhikevich neurons:

Mmm...
Once I was surfing the net for some papers in CNS and I came across a paper about Natural Language Processing all of a sudden and I realized There aren't any real Spiking Neural Networks that are bio plausible for NLP.

I started reading some papers and some books to gain more knowledge about Language comprehension and language generation but no real model suggestions yet.

Do anyone know any labs working on NLP in Computational neuroscience or how to connect with them?

A Thousand Brains : a new theory of intelligence

Hi :)
I'm a new member of this amazing community and I would like to have my first post on the amazing breakthrough of Jeff Hawkins.

Before giving my opinion, I would like everyone to tell me whether they know the theory of have they read the book or the original papers and If so what's their insight on them?

I think the material in this research is pretty much fascinating and would like to engage and talk about it more.

The #Izhikevichmodel is a powerful tool for simulating the #spiking and bursting behavior of #neurons with a remarkable balance between biological relevance and computational efficiency 💫 Here is a short introduction along with a #Python implementation to simulate various types of #cortical neurons, including regular spiking, fast spiking, and bursting neurons:

Feel free to share and experiment with it ☺️

How's Friday going folks? I've been working on standardising the #Purkinje Cell model from Zang et al 2018 to #NeuroML. Exported the morphology already, on to the converting the individual Ion channels next.

You can use the converted bits from here: https://github.com/sanjayankur31/ZangEtAl2018/tree/development
