Oja's plasticity rule overcomes several challenges of training neural networks under biological constraints

Deep neural networks have achieved impressive performance through carefully engineered training strategies. Nonetheless, such methods lack parallels in biological neural circuits, relying heavily on n...

I made this figure panel size guide to avoid thinking about dimensions every time. Apparently this post is going to be a 🧵! So feel free to bookmark it and save some time of yours.

Well deserved. Congratulations, Adrienne!

Congratulations to Adrienne Fairhall, Prof. of Neurobiology and Biophysics, Adjunct Prof. of Applied Mathematics, and Adjunct Prof. of Physics, who has just been elected to the National Academy of Sciences! 🍾 🎉

High-Dimensional Dynamics in Low-Dimensional Networks. New preprint with a former undergrad, Yue Wan. I'm not totally sure how to talk about these results. They're counterintuitive on the surface, seem somewhat obvious in hindsight, but then there's more to them when you dig deeper.

Somewhat old news here, but since I'm switching over from the other site: Happy to announce that my Computational Neuroscience textbook was published by MIT Press. The text and code is freely accessible: mitpress.mit.edu/978026254808... (click Open Access) drive.google.com/drive/folder... (1/n)

Modeling Neural Circuits Made Simple with Python
