#spikingneuralnetworks — Public Fediverse posts

Just uploaded my #BernsteinConference talk on abstract models of neuromodulation in #SpikingNeuralNetworks. No video was taken, so it's just the slides.

#SpikingNeuralNetworks #ComputationalNeuroscience #Neuroscience

New preprint on #neuromodulation in #SpikingNeuralNetworks of interest to people in #neuroscience and #neuromorphic computing.

Headline result: neuromodulation gives a huge boost to performance, particularly in noisy environments, and reduces energy consumption by reducing neuron and spike counts.

We also have tutorials and codes to integrate easily into your models.

I just gave a short tutorial on what is a spiking neural network and how to train one. From zero to a trained network in one hour. Slides and code you can run in Colab at this repo:

New #neuromorphic #SpikingNeuralNetworks paper with Pengfei Sun, Zhe Su, @achterbrain, @giacomoi and Danyal Akarca:

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

Long story short, we found a neat new trick for augmenting spiking neural networks with a tiny separate memory buffer, that gives a huge boost to performance on tasks with temporal structure at a very low memory cost (state-of-the-art performance with 40-60% fewer parameters). It's also very neuromorphic hardware-friendly and gives us 4x increased throughput and 5x improvement in energy efficiency compared to state-of-the-art.

We think this is (a) a great example of where an abstraction inspired by biology can lead to networks that are both algorithmically effective and hardware-efficient, (b) shows the power of doing hardware-software co-design for neuromorphic computation.

We're hiring for a project on #SpikingNeuralNetworks and #neuromorphic computing, to start in October this year, for 36 months. Can hire at pre- or post-PhD level. Feel free to email me informally, or apply at the link below. Please do share with your networks if you know someone who would be interested.
#ComputationalNeuroscience

Incorporating structural #plasticity in #SpikingNeuralNetworks (#SNN) enables dynamic #synaptic connectivity, reflecting the #brain's adaptability. By modeling synaptic growth and pruning based on #calcium concentration, we can simulate processes such as #learning and #MemoryFormation. In this post, I reproduce the #NESTSimulator tutorial on structural plasticity, demonstrating its impact on network stability and #homeostasis:

Postdoc fellowship opportunity for ECRs (<3 yrs post-PhD). Note that if you want to apply to work with me as your mentor, our dept has an internal deadline of Dec 4th so please email me asap. Our internal process is shorter than the full application.

Psst - #neuromorphic folks. Did you know that you can solve the SHD dataset with 90% accuracy using only 22 kB of parameter memory by quantising weights and delays? Check out our preprint with Pengfei Sun and Danyal Akarca:

„Vor wenigen Wochen stellte ein chinesisches Forscherteam das Modell „SpikingBrain 1.0“ vor – eine #KI auf Basis eines #SpikingNeuralNetworks. Diese Technik soll nicht nur weniger Energie verbrauchen, sondern auch ohne Nvidia-Chips und ohne große Datenmengen auskommen.“🤔
Lina Knees via #Handelsblatt

Message for participants of the #SNUFA 2025 spiking neural network workshop. We got almost 60 awesome abstract submissions, and we'd now like your help to select which ones should be offered talks. To take part, follow the "abstract voting" link at:

Spiking neural networks people, this message is for you!

The annual SNUFA workshop is now open for abstract submission (deadline Sept 26) and (free) registration. This year's speakers include Elisabetta Chicca, Jason Eshraghian, Tomoki Fukai, Chengcheng Huang, and... you?

https://snufa.net/2025/

Please boost!

#neuroscience #computationalneuroscience #SpikingNeuralNetworks

We are hiring a postdoc. It's a broadly scoped position but I think it would be of interest to someone in #Neuromorphic or #SpikingNeuralNetworks. See ad below. Inquiries to Dan Akarca because I will be on holiday.

Note, the application deadline is very soon! (Unavoidable admin issues.)
