How should animals combine information across their senses?
Prior work suggests linear fusion (sight sound).
However, we show that this would be sub-optimal for many multisensory tasks,
and instead, propose a nonlinear function f(sight, sound).

Our paper on nonlinear multimodal processing now out in @PLOSCompBiol (with @MarcusGhosh, @GabrielBna1 and @BormuthVolker).
TLDR: adding a simple nonlinearity to the classic model helps a lot, but only on tasks with more realistic temporal structure.

I will be at #BernsteinConference (@BernsteinNeuro) next week - with my @neuralreckoning colleagues.
Drop me a message if you'd like to meet up.
Otherwise, stop by my poster (IV 47) for some new work on multisensory integration
27 Sep 2024
Come and meet the Neural Reckoners at @BernsteinNeuro with posters from:
⭐️@GabrielBna1: specialization/modularity
⭐️@MarcusGhosh @Swathi_Anil_: multisensory processing
⭐️Yang Chu: bootstrapping auditory learning with an innate circuit
⭐️Greta Horvathova: adversarial autoencoders

I recently gave a talk on:
Nonlinearity and network topology in multimodal circuits.
Which you can watch here:

💥I’m hiring! 💥🚀
Funded by @ARIA_research, we’re massively ramping our work on spatially-embedded efficient computation in neural networks.
18m first instance, great London location, competitive postdoc salary.
Any Qs, my DMs are open! (please RT).

How should we support research software engineers?
One idea from @ryrobyrne!
22 Aug 2024
I think RSE teams is a good step, but not the right one in the long term.
Instead tool-makers should run autonomous "studios", analogous to "labs". This will be cheaper, more innovative, and more attractive for talented engineers.
How might this work? A dialogue 🧵

How should we structure large-scale scientific projects?
Massive, open source collaborations (which anyone, anywhere can join) are one option!
We ran a project like this for 2 years.
Read about our experiences and findings here:

New preprint on our "collaborative modelling of the brain" (COMOB) project. Over the last two years, a group of us (led by @MarcusGhosh) have been working together, openly, online, with anyone free to join, on a computational neuroscience research project

Working together like this (across labs, disciplines and countries) feels like the future.
Congratulations to everyone involved:
@TomasFiers, @dilay_ercelik, @Z_Friedenberger, @GabrielBna1, @ryrobyrne, @IdoAizenbud, @BormuthVolker, @_AAlpha, @neuralreckoning
many more!

I hadn’t really thought about the variety of algorithms that *could* optimally underpin multi-modal processing/integration, until this awesome work by @MarcusGhosh & team.
Clear findings w/ experimentally testable predictions on nonlinear fusion in agents & organisms! 👌

Our 2024 cohort is ready to start the journey.
For the next 2 1/2 weeks our students and teaching team will work together and will dive into concepts of computational neurosceince, machine learning and open science! 🧠💻🤖
Have fun everyone!

1/6 Surrogate gradients (SGs) are empirically successful at training spiking neural networks (SNNs). But why do they work so well, and what is their theoretical basis? In our new preprint led by @JuliaGygax4, we provide the answers: arxiv.org/abs/2404.14964
