Congratulations, Axel (woot woot), for being awarded an SNSF Swiss Postdoctoral Fellowship, the interim Swiss equivalent of a Marie Curie European Fellowship, to work on fundamental questions pertaining to neuronal circuit architectures and learning. WeContinue reading
Spektrum der Wissenschaft story on self-calibration in neuromorphic systems
We are very happy that in their current issue Spektrum der Wissenschaft picked up our collaboration story with Uni Heidelberg on self-calibration through surrogate gradient learning in analog neuromorphic systems.
High school students visiting the FMI
Lab members organized a station for a recent outreach event during which more than 200 high school students from Basel and surroundings visited the FMI to learn more about genetics and neuroscience research. At theContinue reading
Quantamagazine covers our work on learning on analog neuromorphic hardware
Allison Whitten wrote a nice article for Quantamagazine about our recent collaboration with Heidelberg on the BrainScaleS-2 neuromorphic chip. Analog hardware faces similar obstacles as the brain when learning: Neuronal heterogeneity means that you won’tContinue reading
