tinyML Neuromorphic Engineering Forum
Happy to announce the tinyML Neuromorphic Engineering Forum, a virtual one-day meeting on September 27, 2022 to bring the tinyML and neurmorphic community closer. The forum is spearheaded by Charlotte Frenkel and co-organized by colleaguesContinue reading
Announcing SNUFA 2022
We are happy to announce SNUFA 2022, an online workshop focused on research advances in the field of “Spiking Networks as Universal Function Approximators.” SNUFA 2022 will take place online 9-10 November 2022, European afternoons.Continue reading
Swiss Computational Neuroscience Retreat 2022
This year a group of computational neuroscientists consisting of group leaders and trainees from Basel, Bern, Geneva, Lausanne, and Zurich convened in Crans-Montana for an intensive three-day in-person event with talks and discussions on recentContinue reading
SNUFA 2021 recordings online
Above you see Henning Sprekeler (TU Berlin) talking about the ubiquitous excitation/inhibition balance in the brain during his talk’s intro. Only one of the many good memories a delightful SNUFA 2021 meeting. Thanks again toContinue reading
Announcing the SNUFA 2021 workshop
I am stoked about our second edition of our successful SNUFA workshop on “spiking neural networks as universal function approximators,” on 2-3 November 2021 (we shifted from the original date a week later to avoidContinue reading
The lab at CoSyNe 2021
The lab selfie at Cosyne 2021 clearly looks different than we would have imagined a year ago.
Kris and Claire present exciting excitation-inhibition work at the Bernstein conference
Both Claire and Kris will present virtual posters about their modeling work in the olfactory system. If you are interested in learning more about what precise EI balance and transient attractor states have to doContinue reading
