Toy models, just in time for Christmas! Excited to share my first article for @thetransmitter.bsky.social #neuroskyence

🚨new work with the dream team @danakarca.bsky.social @loopyluppi.bsky.social @fatemehhadaeghi.bsky.social @stuartoldham.bsky.social @duncanastle.bsky.social We use game theory and show the brain is not optimally wired for communication and there’s more to its story: www.biorxiv.org/content/10.6...

Our paper on event-based delay learning is now published! @neworderofjamie.bsky.social @drtnowotny.bsky.social TL;DR: It’s now possible to train synaptic delays in large-scale spiking neural networks with high temporal precision—even in recurrent connections. www.nature.com/articles/s41...

Excited to see the paper fully published. It's an important milestone for training SNNs with exact gradients, replacing our earlier tricks of a "delay line augmentation" to capture temporal relationships. Delays can now be learnt alongside weights naturally. Amazing work @mbalazs98.bsky.social !

Happy to share that I'll be talking about neuron position learning on the second day!

My 1st PhD student Anindya Ghosh has a great new paper out in PLOS comp bio. We combine hoverfly recordings with modelling to show how target motion and optic-flow sensitive neuron outputs are combined together to generate behaviourally relevant sensorimotor responses. doi.org/10.1371/jour...

Submissions (short!) due for SNUFA spiking neural networks conference in <2 weeks! 🤖🧠🧪 forms.cloud.microsoft/e/XkZLavhaJe More info at snufa.net/2025/ Note that we normally get around 700 participants and recordings go on YouTube and get 100s-1000s views. Please repost.

Is anarchist science possible? As an experiment, we got together a large group of computational neuroscientists from around the world to work on a single project without top down direction. Read on to find out what happened. 🤖🧠🧪

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? snufa.net/2025/ 🤖🧠🧪

How does the structure of a neural circuit shape its function? @neuralreckoning.bsky.social & I explore this in our new preprint: doi.org/10.1101/2025... 🤖🧠🧪 🧵1/9

Computational sciences can offer a unique opportunity for democratized access and participation, but we are currently falling far short of that goal, writes @neuromatch.bsky.social's @meganakpeters.bsky.social and Bradley Roberts‬‬‬‬. #neuroskyence www.thetransmitter.org/education/ho...

Hiring a post-doc at Imperial in EEE. Broad in scope + flexible on topics: neural networks & new AI accelerators from a HW/SW co-design perspective! w/ @neuralreckoning.bsky.social @achterbrain.bsky.social in Intelligent Systems and Networks group. Plz share! 🚀: www.imperial.ac.uk/jobs/search-...

We had an incredible gathering at UK Neural Computation 2025 @imperialcollegeldn.bsky.social last week 🇬🇧 Macron missed out... Some of the UK’s very best at the frontier of comp neuro. Thanks to our sponsors ARIA + Crick & UKNC team: @markdhumphries.bsky.social + @neuralreckoning.bsky.social!

What's the right way to think about modularity in the brain? This devilish 😈 question is a big part of my research now, and it started with this paper with @solarpunkgabs.bsky.social, finally published after the first preprint in 2021! 🤖🧠🧪 www.nature.com/articles/s41...
