Spiking NN fans - the #SNUFA workshop (Nov 5-6) agenda is finalised and online now. Make sure to register (free) soon. (Note you can register for either day and come to both.) Agenda: snufa.net/2025/ Registration: www.eventbrite.co.uk/e/snufa-2025... Thanks to all who voted on abstracts! 🤖🧠🧪

A year ago these things could just shuffle along slowly and would fall down if you looked at them wrong

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. Follow the "abstract voting" link at snufa.net/2025/ to take part. It should take <15m. Thanks! ❤️

🚨 New preprint! “A Computational Perspective on the No-Strong-Loops Principle in Brain Networks” www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1... Over the past 3 years, we’ve been investigating why cortical networks avoid strong reciprocal loops — and what this means for computation.

🚨 Excited to share the latest preprint form the lab ➡️https://tinyurl.com/32d3be9f Here we tackle a long-standing chicken-or-egg 🐣🥚question in #autism and developmental neuroscience ➡️ Is excitation–inhibition (E:I) imbalance a "cause" or a "consequence" of #autism? Check out what we found! 🧵1/n

Dear #ParisNeuroscience community, here is the schedule of the upcoming 'Neural Networking Night' season !

1/ New paper on @ScienceAdvances: Large-Scale Maps of Altered Cortical Dynamics in Early-Stage Psychosis Are Related to GABAergic and Glutamatergic Neurotransmission (www.science.org/doi/10.1126/...).

I think Altman assumes that “PhD-level expert” means someone who speaks confidently on everything as opposed to saying “it’s nuanced,” losing their keys, and getting maniacally fixated on their current topic to the point of seeing it in everything.

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/ 🤖🧠🧪

📣New study in Neuron, featuring modeling insights: "Cell-Specific Dendritic Integration in Cortical GABAergic Interneurons"! It reveals PV & SST interneurons compute differently. This highlights how distinct dendrites enable specialized brain computations! www.sciencedirect.com/science/arti...

Thanks to Maryada (@giacomoi.bsky.social lab)! Due to component variability it is hard to set the weights across neuromorphic devices. Using our crosshomeostatic learning rule, that governs all four weight classes, we drove neuromorphic RNNs into balanced E/I regimes. www.nature.com/articles/s41...

1/ New paper by Hame Park, (@AraziAyelet), Bharath Talluri, Marco Celotto, Stefano Panzeri, Alan Stocker & Tobias Donner published in Nature Communications – “Confirmation Bias through Selective Readout of Information Encoded in Human Parietal Cortex”: rdcu.be/etlR7. Here is a summary:

"Leverage" seems to be the new kid in towm. Every second paper I am checking, "leverage" is there in the Abstract and/or the Introduction. I just wonder whether this is a ChatGPT-like bias, or is some secretive editorial policy … to "leverage the souls of readers." 🧘‍♂️🪷

One of the problems is that, too often, in academia, people are granted governing positions based on past scientific, popularity or influence aspects, not on their capacity to manage personal relations and teams. A successful scientist is not necessarily a good manager.

Why academia is sleepwalking into self-destruction. My editorial @brain1878.bsky.social If you agree with the sentiments please repost. It's important for all our sakes to stop the madness academic.oup.com/brain/articl...

A cortical microcircuit model reveals the unique functional roles of PV and SOM cells in controlling network oscillations and stability. The model predicts hierarchical gradients in oscillation frequencies & seizure propensity based on SOM/PV densities and activation. www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1...

Updated version of our preprint: www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1...

On International Day of Women and Girls in Science, we celebrate the women shaping the future of science 👩‍🔬 In 2023, women made up only 41% of scientists and engineers in the EU. Denmark has the highest representation of female scientists and engineers (50.8%), while Hungary has the lowest (30.7%).

🤖💭 Proverb of the day … "Hard work is only worth in the right conditions." I find that the importance of setting (and being allowed) the right conditions for hard work to be useful, is too often overlooked.
