#computationalneuroscience — Public Fediverse posts

Gave a talk at the Crick institute on "Does heterogeneity help the brain and how could we know if it did?" part of a series we organised with @marcusghosh. It was fun to present work aimed at generating discussion.

https://neural-reckoning.org/talk_2026_crick_heterogeneity.html

In particular, it was a new experience to present work not primarily to get people excited about the ideas in the work, but to raise questions like: can these ideas be tested? Does this approach to doing computational neuroscience make sense? etc.

We should perhaps do more of this!

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.

#introduction toot!! I am a neuroscientist at Instituto Cajal in Madrid, Spain. My lab studies how the 🧠hippocampus generates activity patterns (theta, gamma and ripple oscillations) in service for memory function. We target cell-type specific microcircuits and basic neurophysiological mechs in health & disease (e.g., epilepsy).
