How does spiking neural networks handle continuous signals? Turns out, they can use the same tricks used JPEGs and telecom (wavelets)! It's 100x more efficient. It's lossy, but causal and implementable directly in analog circuits. And maybe a path toward fast, low-power spiking signal processing?

The field of #neuromorphics is lacking *accessible*, *intuitive*, and *practical* introductions. Ramashish Gaurav, Petruț Antoniu Bogdan, and I are setting out to fix this with a book on Practical Spiking Neural Networks! ✅ Any and all contributions are welcome! 💕 Early access at: snnbook.net

New paper on covariant #neuromorphic networks! We're connecting decades of work in computer vision with decades of work in spiking networks. And, in an event-based vision task against regular ANNs of similar complexity, spiking networks are doing much, much better! www.nature.com/articles/s41...

Curious about #neuromorphic computing? 🧠💻 We want to revolutionalize the way we program brain-inspired systems and are plotting a course in a new publication with Steven Abreu: ieeexplore.ieee.org/abstract/doc... (or open access arxiv.org/abs/2410.22352) Let's build better neuromorphics together! 🚀

New preprint out on a data generator for geometric event responses. Here's to hoping this will make event-based models more aware of geometry and symmetry ✨ #neuromorphic #computervision #dataset arxiv.org/abs/2412.03259

Just listened to the Lex Fridman podcast with Yann Lecun, emphasizing the importance of open #AI. Couldn't agree more! As an open source maintainer for #neuromorphic tech, thank you for the praise and encouragement. I needed that today ❤️ open.spotify.com/episode/0bXy...

#neuromorphic computing is promising to drive artificial intelligence much further---and this blogpost benchmarks SNN libraries, so you know where to start. Join us on Discord discord.gg/C9bzWgNmqk open-neuromorphic.org/blog/spiking...
