How does spiking neural networks handle continuous signals? Turns out, they can use the same tricks used JPEGs and telecom (wavelets)! It's 100x more efficient. It's lossy, but causal and implementable directly in analog circuits. And maybe a path toward fast, low-power spiking signal processing?

The field of #neuromorphics is lacking *accessible*, *intuitive*, and *practical* introductions. Ramashish Gaurav, Petruț Antoniu Bogdan, and I are setting out to fix this with a book on Practical Spiking Neural Networks! ✅ Any and all contributions are welcome! 💕 Early access at: snnbook.net
I'm proud to chair this initiative, bringing together leading scientists, students, and volunteers to build an open and sustainable ecosystem for neuromorphics. Check it out and sign up. We can use your help :-)

New paper on covariant #neuromorphic networks! We're connecting decades of work in computer vision with decades of work in spiking networks. And, in an event-based vision task against regular ANNs of similar complexity, spiking networks are doing much, much better! www.nature.com/articles/s41...
