When an animal moves, its visual system adjusts its neuronal activity to process the changing environmental input, but this adjustment operates on the same mathematical evolutionary principles across both mice and primates despite differing sensory outputs.

The ANDA-NI Retreat has begun, marking the third component of this year's Advanced Neural Data Analysis and Neuroinformatics programme. Nicholas A. Del Grosso and I are excited to kick off this closing project week together with a highly international crowd of dedicated participants.

Over the past weeks, participants worked through two online courses covering the mathematical foundations of neural data analysis (ANDA) and data management skills from neuroinformatics (NI). Now comes the part that matters just as much: applying that knowledge to real data, contributed by the participants themselves, and collaborating in small teams to tackle research questions.

Mastering the equations behind a technique is only half the job. The other half is developing an eye for data, learning to read what an analysis is actually telling you, spotting when something doesn't look right, and knowing how to embed and combine analysis methods into workflows that are reproducible and shareable with others. That's the skillset we're aiming to build this week.

Looking forward to an exciting and hands-on week ahead.

Spike-timing-dependent #plasticity (#STDP) is a core rule in #ComputationalNeuroscience that adjusts #synaptic strength based on precise pre- vs. postsynaptic #spike timing, enabling #TemporalCoding and #learning in #SNN. In this post, I summarize its mathematical formulation, functional consequences for learning and #memory along with a simple #Python example:

#CompNeuro #Neuroscience #SNN #NeuralDynamics #NeuralPlasticity

#NeuralDynamics is a central subfield of #ComputationalNeuroscience studying timedependent #NeuralActivity and its governing #mathematics. It examines how #NeuralStates evolve, how stable or unstable patterns arise, and how #learning reshapes them. Neural dynamics forms the backbone for how #neurons & #NeuralNetworks generate complex activity over time. This post gives a brief overview of the field & its historical milestones:

#CompNeuro #Neuroscience #DynamicalSystems

#NeuralPlasticity & #learning are distinct but interrelated processes. #Plasticity denotes biological change in #NeuralSystems, while learning is its functional expression in #NetworkDynamics & #behavior. Learning arises from coordinated plastic processes, reshaping #NeuralStateSpace & #attractors to support stable yet flexible representations. Here's a new post on these concepts & their implications for #ComputationalNeuroscience:

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.

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.
