Extending the Neural Cellular Automata paradigm from pattern formation on grids to functional logic generation and self-repair on arbitrary graphs.

The genomic mechanisms that efficiently encode the initial architecture and synaptic connectivity of neural circuits remain poorly understood. We hypothesise that two primary mechanisms — spatial enco...

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.

Dimensionality reduction has proven powerful for identifying neural manifolds, which are low-dimensional structures underlying high-dimensional neural activity. These low-dimensional representations h...

Spiking neurons underlie the brain’s extreme energy efficiency, and therefore have great potential in neuromorphic computing, although realising this efficiency in practice has proven challenging. We ...

A series of interactive workshops on building better experiment-theory collaborations in neuroscience.

Pengfei Sun et al. develop a spiking neural network with a dual memory pathway, co-designed with a custom neuromorphic chip. The approach delivers over 4× throughput and 5x energy efficiency gains whi...

The School of Convergence Science at Imperial College London is inviting applications for fully funded PhD studentships on research projects that sup...
