ELiSe: Efficient Learning of Sequences in Structured Recurrent Networks
Behavior can be described as a temporal sequence of actions driven by neural activity. To learn complex sequential patterns in neural networks, memories of past activities need to persist on significa...

Weight transport through spike timing for robust local gradients
In both machine learning and in computational neuroscience, plasticity in functional neural networks is frequently expressed as gradient descent on a cost. Often, this imposes symmetry constraints tha...

Next March we will be in Heidelberg Germany --- Europe for the first time! --- and we are looking forward to reaching our broader community

The submission deadline is in about ten days. So if you have a paper on computing and neurons (#NeuroAI) looking for a home, please consider submitting!

AI with consciousness - but pain-free?
Researchers at the University of Bern have developed a new model for the emergence of consciousness. The model suggests that one day artificial agents, i.e. systems which imitate human thought, could ...

The conductor model of consciousness, our neuromorphic twins, and the human-AI deal - AI and Ethics
Critics of Artificial Intelligence (AI) posit that artificial agents cannot achieve consciousness even in principle, because they lack certain necessary pre-conditions present in biological agents. He...
