My brain extension: April 2012
http://mybrainextension.blogspot.com/2012_04_01_archive.html
The public notebook of a computational neuroscientist. Donnerstag, 19. April 2012. G-Node workshop on neuronal GPU computing: symposium. Last week, the G-Node workshop on neuronal GPU computing. Took place at LMU Munich. I had the pleasure organizing the scientific part, while Christian Kellner and Thomas Wachtler from G-Node. Did an extremely good job taking care of local organization (with solid support from lovely Manuela Brandenburg). First speaker of the symposium was Romain Brette. Doesn't. Als...

My brain extension: November 2010
http://mybrainextension.blogspot.com/2010_11_01_archive.html
The public notebook of a computational neuroscientist. Donnerstag, 25. November 2010. Towards fast scientific python. Seems to come of age in its role as an universal language for scientific computing. It already has a good standing in the computational neuroscience community. The Neural Ensemble project. Gathers some initiatives that use Python as the primary language for neuronal simulation and data analysis. Large simulator projects like Nest. Which is one of my current favorite papers. A compiler for...

The hard problem of consciousness explained with sex. Why is it not just information as it is for a computer, why does the experience have a particular quality? Certainly, when it is not in the brain, the molecule does not provide pleasure to a Petri dish. The act of ejaculating, end of the story. But sex does not fit so...

Aller au contenu principal. Simulation of neural networks. What is computational neuroscience? Rate vs. timing. Perceptual invariants: representational vs. structural theories. In his book on vision, David Marr. S ecological theory (see my post on the difference between these two theories. There are two ways: either it is wired (innate) or it is acquired, learned by associating many transformed instances of the same object with the same percept . So in a representational theory, dealing with invarian...

Aller au contenu principal. Aller au contenu secondaire. Simulation of neural networks. What is computational neuroscience? Rate vs. timing. Archives pour la catégorie Rate vs. timing. Why do neurons spike? Why do neurons produce those all-or-none electrical events named action potentials? Incidentally, this theory is sometimes (wrongly) used. First, neurons start spiking before they make any synaptic contact, and that activity is important for normal development ( Pineda and Ribera, 2009. Those are long...

Some propositions for future spatial hearing research (I) The ecological situation and the computational problem. The basic question is: how do we (or animals) localize sounds in space? This does not cover all of spatial hearing). All of this is very sensible, but it means that in terms of the computational task of localizin...
