I just gave a short tutorial on what is a spiking neural network and how to train one. From zero to a trained network in one hour. Slides and code you can run in Colab at this repo: github.com/neural-recko... 🤖🧠🧪

Neuromatch has been denied our Office of Foreign Assets Control "Iran license" renewal. We had renewed successfully before, but now our request is “inconsistent with current U.S. foreign policy.” I am absolutely gutted by this denial.

Neuroscience is a global endeavor whose main promise is curing the many brain related diseases. Global collaboration is the key to that. I am so sad that our Iranian friends will, once again, be excluded.
