⚠️ Advanced content : neuronal logic with Spikeling part 4 - resolving the XOR paradox. Parts 1 to 3 established how simple OR, AND, NOR or NAND operations emerge from single-layer neuronal networks through modulation of excitatory and inhibitory synaptic gains. #LogicalGating #Neuroscience

Today is #WorldBrainDay, an initiative led by the World Federation of Neurology. #WorldBrainDay #BrainHealth This year’s theme, “Brain Health: Access for All,” is also an opportunity to reflect on access to neuroscience education, practical training and the tools used to understand the brain.

Busy day of mounting, testing and packing Spikeling units ! Program coordinators - now is the time to plan for the next academic year. Why not treat your students to a hands-on electrophysiology workshop, emulating a real experimental setup? #Neuroscience #NeuroscienceTeaching

Hardware Implementation of Spiking Neurons for Computational Neuroscience! 🧠⚡ Students practically observe real-time neuronal firing behaviour and how adjusting parameters shapes neural dynamics. Thanks to @opensourceneuro.com for customizing the practical learning tools suitable for our course.

Thanks to @edinunineuro.bsky.social to shed light on our neuroscience educational devices in their latest video ! #Edinburgh #Neuroscience #STEMEducation

This is us; this is Edinburgh Neuroscience! This newly commissioned video summarises our purpose and vision. 👇

LLM are changing how we teach and assess STEM subjects. Many traditional text-based assignments can now be completed without necessarily demonstrating genuine understanding: Student can enter a prompt, receive a polished response and submit the result. #AI

Very proud to have presented the Spikeling project yesterday at @edinunineuro.bsky.social day for @opensourceneuro.com ! The poster stand with the demo got a lot of attention : - #Edinburgh #Neuroscience

On May the 14th, Paul Rignanese presented the Spikeling project for the first GRI-UK conference at @edinburgh-uni.bsky.social . We had insightful interactions with both scientists and families of patients affected by a GRIN mutation.

Here is a little simulation / teaser for something new coming to Open Source Neuro. Meet Spiky, a compact neuromorphic electronics implementation of a LIF / AdEx-style neuron model.

In her Nature piece “Train PhD students to be thinkers not just specialists”, Prof. @gundulaboschphd.bsky.social argues that scientific training should cultivate more than technical expertise. #Science #Neuroscience

From intracellular to extracellular, in one teaching platform. Spikeling lets students move from patch-clamp-style electrophysiology to calcium-imaging logic and extracellular tetrode recordings in a single open teaching workflow. #Neuroscience #Neurophysiology

Neuronal logic with Spikeling ! Part 3 Spikeling is a virtual spiking neuron you can patch and tune. It’s a brilliant bridge between neuroscience, boolean logic, and machine learning fundamentals. #Neuroscience #ComputationalSciences #Neurophysiology #Electrophysiology

Neuronal logic with Spikeling: part 2 In part 1, we showed how to build OR and AND gates for action potentials using excitatory synaptic gains. #Neuroscience #Neurophysiology #Electrophysiology #NeuralCircuits

Yesterday for @opensourceneuro.com , Paul Rignanese was presenting a poster and a live demo of Spikeling at the Institute for Neuroscience and Cardiovascular Research Early Career Researcher Day at the The @edinburghuni.bsky.social ! #Neuroscience #BiomedicalSciences

Spikeling v3 feature reveal : a new module ! After current clamp, voltage clamp, calcium imaging, we are implementing an extracellular tetrode recording module ! #Neuroscience #CalciumImaging

Interplay of behaviour and neurophysiology is at the core of neuroscience, and collaboration of ethologists and neurophysiologists is crutial. #Ethology #Neurophysiology

OSN promotes neuroscience access with open, low-cost tools for education, training, and outreach, especially where conventional neurophysiology setups aren’t available. #ScienceOutreach #OpenScience

Spikeling’s imaging simulation brings microscopy-grade data interpretation into the classroom by linking Vm/spikes to Ca²⁺ and fluorescence (F ; ΔF/F) in real time. #Neuroscience #CalciumImaging

State-of-the-art neuroscience education shouldn’t depend on access to patch-clamp rigs or two-photon microscopes. At the @trendcamina.bsky.social computational neuroscience & ML workshop feat. @akoumoundourou.bsky.social, students arrive with strong coding skills - #NeuroscienceEducation #CAMINA

Sensory neuroscience workshop with Spikeling — from light to spikes. Run meaningful sensory experiments outside the wet lab: the on-board photoreceptor provides a synaptic-like input to an in-silico patched neuron. #Neuroscience #SensoryNeuroscience

Spikeling allows to learn about neurophysiology from many angles, it is easy to see how different neuronal subtypes encode stimulus input information. #Neuroscience #Education #Teaching #InformationTheory

See how easy it is to plug and play with a buzzing Spikeling. This is just a teaser, follow us for more demos of the numerous cool functionalities and applications of Spikeling ! #Neuroscience #Electrophysiology #Teaching #Education

Last week @opensourceneuro.com was at Université Côte d'Azur for a Spikeling demo. Thanks to the Molecular and Cellular Pharmacology Institute affiliated with CNRS-INSERM for the invite ! #Spikeling #Neuroscience #Education

Spikeling is an open-source teaching device built to democratize neurophysiology education. In academia—especially in low-resource and low-income settings—hands-on electrophysiology is often limited by cost and logistics. #OpenScience #OpenHardware #NeuroscienceEducation

With a Spikeling board and the GUI, students have a hands-on interface to run patching ephys experiments with custom stimuli on a variety of neuronal subtypes. It is super intuitive, check this short video demo ! #Neuroscience #Education #OpenSource #Electrophysiology
