Time turns out to be critical in scaling RL: in time-continuous settings, we really need an action-decision maker like the Basal Ganglia.

Second edition: this should again be an on-point affair.

Zeer geslaagde Avond vd Wetenschap: als tafelwetenschapper inspirerende gesprekken gehad over de toekomst van AI en hersenwetenschap #avondWM, en als klapstuk getuige van de uitreiking Huibregtsen prijs aan collega's @robvandermei en Sandjai Bhulai!

Very proud of this big effort, making artificial spiking neural networks performant and demonstrating energy efficiency.

Recordings from the SNUFA SNN workshop are now available on YouTube: youtube.com/playlist?list=… cc Friedemann Zenke BohteNeuroLabCWI

We might soon see neural networks that sip rather than gulp energy. My story on spiking #neuralnetworks for Simons Institute for the Theory of Computing, featuring work by BohteNeuroLabCWI, Friedemann Zenke (Friedemann Zenke), Dan Goodman (Dan Goodman) and Christian Pehle : simons.berkeley.edu/news/spiking-n…

Too modest: Lynn did some amazing work to develop recurrent models of object-recognition in the brain and map them to real human behavior.

Ik sta 19 juni in Paradiso om te vertellen over AI en het brein. Info en kaartjes: paradiso.nl/nl/programma/p… (lecture will be in Dutch)

Een eer en een genoegen om in Paradiso te staan. Bucket-list--

Great meeting yesterday in Nijmegen, wonderful to meet everybody in person again, and also to see so many new faces. Doubled from last year, neuromorphics rapidly becomings a big field in NL!

Bojian Yin demonstrating an SNN on a phone for keywordspotting at Science Park open dag (CWI), till 1700h today.

Organizing together w/ Sebastian Otte: "Special Session on Recent Advances in Spiking Neural Networks" at ICANN 2023. Conference 26 - 29 Sep 2023, in beautiful Crete. Paper deadline mid-April. #icann #enns #spiking #neuromorphic e-nns.org/icann2023/wp-c…

Mooi stuk van Theo van Vugt, was een goed gesprek over de impact van foundational AI models zoals ChatGPT.

Beyond reading the pretty pictures in this awesome reporting by Anil Ananthaswamy, amazing to being mentioned in "Nature"...

Fun and exciting to talk on national television about spiking neural networks and energy efficient AI modeled after the brain. Dating myself: long ways from an obscure scientific topic (SNNs) in a highly unpopular machine learning domain (ANNs).

A great place to work and fascinating topic.
