Over the last year I've been adding support for OpenCL to GeNN Team. Just merged an AMD-specific fix into github.com/genn-team/genn and RX 5700 XT now performs well. However, we're lacking other AMD hardware to test - any neuromorphs INCF able to spare an hour or so and help?

Might insects learn using reward prediction errors after all? New research in the lab from James Bennett just out in Nature Communications Centre for Sensory Neuroscience and Computation @SussexEASy SussexNeuro Computational Systems Neuroscience Brains on Board nature.com/articles/s4146…

1/n How can we identify and measure ‘emergent’ processes in complex systems? Here’s a new #arXiv preprint addressing this question, by Lionel Barnett (Lionel Barnett) and me. It’s all about ‘Dynamical Independence’. arxiv.org/abs/2106.06511. Thread:

The new algorithm "EventProp" by Timo Wunderlich and Christian Pehle can compute the exact gradient of spiking neural networks in an event-based, temporally and spatially sparse fashion! doi.org/10.1038/s41598…

Really excited to announce I have a PhD studentship available in "self-supervised neuromorphic vision" GeNN Team @SussexEASy. Any questions, please email or DM! sussex.ac.uk/study/fees-fun…

Applications for our be.AI PhD scholarships in biomimetic embodied AI (sussex.ac.uk/ccnr/be_ai) at University of Sussex are now open! Join @SussexEASy SussexNeuro for cutting edge research. Details at bit.ly/be-ai-apply, deadline 23 February.

Interested in Collective Intelligence in Animal Construction? Join the be.AI (sussex.ac.uk/ccnr/be_ai) doctoral training centre University of Sussex in Brighton to work with Paul Graham in SussexNeuro @SussexEASy. Applications open bit.ly/be-ai-apply until 23 Feb.

Happy to see this coming out. It is the first paper on a more AI-oriented direction we are taking with GeNN. More to come soon! @SussexEASy University of Sussex GeNN Team

Great talk about spiking neural network simulations by Jamie Knight today. It is on youtube youtube.com/watch?v=VMwPdV… in case you missed it. GeNN Team @SussexEASy Engineering and Informatics at Sussex

Come and learn about GeNN Team and a lot of other exciting #neuroscience tools!

Exciting opportunity for a postdoc to join @gennteam to work on using FPGA to accelerate cutting-edge #neuromorphic AI with spiking neural networks.

Our Sussex Neuroscience 4-year PhD Programme is open for applications! Deadline Feb 19th, for Sept 2024 entry. Brilliant community of students and supervisors, and a choice of >50 labs for rotations- come and join us by the sea! sussex.ac.uk/research/centr…

Any students interested in parallel programming and Spiking Neural Networks, Thomas Nowotny and I are proposing a summerofcode.withgoogle.com project (as ever thanks to INCF) on adding an ispc.github.io backend to our GeNN simulator. All details at neurostars.org/t/gsoc-2024-pr…

I'm really excited to announce that our brand new MRes in Advanced Artificial Intelligence is now available on the University of Sussex website sussex.ac.uk/study/masters/…! This course offers research focused training in how to be an effective and responsible AI scientist or engineer.
