It is challenging to train continuous-time biological RNN models to learn long-term dependencies. In our latest paper (in #NeurIPS2023) with @NeuroGoudar@xjwanglab, we propose several solutions. 1/8

Our new paper is about the most scientifically bewildering state in meditation. If we figure this one out it’s a goldmine for consciousness research, possibly revealing about human hibernation, or useful for space travel. Who knows. Here's the wild story 👇
@shanglin_zhou Mike Seay @JiannisTax@pgolshani introduce a differential-Delay-Match-Sample task, and show that human performance is influenced by the task irrelevant delays. RNNs that capture human performance multiplex WM and time in neural sequences.

With @rodlaje and @HMotanis we prove that classic homeostatic rules -when applied to all synapse types- are unstable and cannot lead to inhibition-stabilized regimes such as Up-states. We report a family of rules that autonomously lead to stable Up-states and balanced dynamics.

Out https://t.co/yX116kg0WK in Neuron today. This was a great collaboration in which Stefano Recanatesi and I are co-first authors working together with Luca Mazzucato and Zach Mainen labs. We combine electrophysiology, behavior, data analysis, and network modeling. 1/4
Swartz Seminar @NYU_CNS
Tomorrow at 12pm: Prof Monty Escabi – "Encoding and perceiving the texture of sounds: auditory midbrain codes for recognizing and categorizing auditory texture and for listening in noise" | Fri, Oct 1, 2021 via @worldwideneuro https://t.co/hUhF71SySS
Friday 17th September (tomorrow), Dr. Xiaosi Gu will give a talk "The Social Brain: From Model to Mental Health" for the Swartz Seminar (organized by myself and @AllenLiuYue) at @NYU_CNS
The talk (and questions) can be followed online at: https://t.co/zB6piUTc86
For those of you who love seeing my face, I'll be on NYU's @worldwideneuro tomorrow, 18:00 Vienna, 12:00 NYC, https://t.co/UwC0hkrGm8. If you only want the science, join at 18:05 & stick a post-it onto the lower right screen. Oh, and here's a hint what I'll be talking about ;)
