- Reposted by BalázsWe're organising a "Neuromorphic hardware and algorithms" workshop at Sussex on 11th-12th of June 2026. Expect keynotes by Chiara Bartolozzi and André van Schaik as well as awesome ECR speakers. (Free) registration now open at genn-team.github.io/workshop2026/. Accepting abstracts until March 31st!
- Reposted by BalázsMessage to all past #SNUFA presenters (talks and posters). I've redesigned the website and there's now an option to add links to related papers and embed a video of your talk. Go to your abstract page and follow the instructions. Here's an example of what it looks like: snufa.net/2025/abstrac...
- Reposted by BalázsHappy to share our preprint on ephaptic interactions between olfactory receptor neurons in Drosophila by Lydia Ellison. doi.org/10.64898/202... We set out to see how near-instantaneous electrical interactions are good for processing tiny odour onset delays, only to find that they weren't.
- Happy to share our preprint with @neworderofjamie.bsky.social , @danakarca.bsky.social and @drtnowotny.bsky.social ! We’ve been working on a neuron position learning algorithm by coupling space and time! See manuscript below 👇
- arxiv.org/abs/2511.01632 I also had the chance to present an earlier stage of this work at #SNUFA a couple of months ago 👇
- Reposted by BalázsToy models, just in time for Christmas! Excited to share my first article for @thetransmitter.bsky.social #neuroskyence
- Amid the rise of billion-parameter models, I argue that toy models, with just a few neurons, remain essential—and may be all neuroscience needs, writes @marcusghosh.bsky.social. #neuroskyence www.thetransmitter.org/theoretical-...
- Reposted by Balázs🚨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...
- Reposted by BalázsExcited 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 !
- 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...
