Interestingly, the intuitive approach fails when validated with a Monte Carlo simulation.Wed, 20 Mar 2024 00:00:00 GMThttps://ibalafrej.com/blog/ai-chip-grow/https://ibalafrej.com/blog/ai-chip-grow/New publication in Nature Communications on electropolymerized dendritic connections for neuromorphic hardware.Fri, 08 Dec 2023 00:00:00 GMThttps://ibalafrej.com/blog/phd-defense/https://ibalafrej.com/blog/phd-defense/Like a proper nerd, I wore an ECG during my thesis defense. Here is the data!Thu, 13 Apr 2023 00:00:00 GMThttps://ibalafrej.com/blog/snn-timestep/https://ibalafrej.com/blog/snn-timestep/What is the proper timestep to select when simulating a spiking neural network? The answer is, of course, it depends. Although, I think the usual assumption is incorrect when using leaky-integrate-and-fire neurons. Here's why!Sat, 18 Mar 2023 00:00:00 GMT
