Happy to share a new preprint from my PhD thesis! “A novel framework for expanding RNNs with biophysical detail to solve cognitive tasks” 🧠💻
📝 biorxiv.org/content/10.64898…

ALT Multipanel figure illustrating the key components of the paper: 1) biophysical reservoir computing where a network of biophysically detailed excitatory and inhibitory neurons are randomly connected, receive a brief input, and produce a sustained spiking pattern in response, 2) an illustration of the task the biophysical reservoir computer is trained on: a simplified working memory task where the network must produce distinct fixed point attractors in response to different inputs.

“I have always been convinced that the only way to get artificial intelligence to work is to do the computation in a way similar to the human brain.”

Grateful to present at the EMBO Neuroscience of Sleep Workshop! Many thanks to @EMBO for the travel grant & this incredible opportunity.
Amazing to connect with sleep scientists worldwide, studying sleep in everything from flies to sea lions, octopuses to reindeer, & beyond!
Rakshita Deshmukh from IIT Kanpur presented her work on the impact of N3 sleep on anxiety behaviours - supporting N3 sleep manipulation as a non-invasive and non-pharmacological intervention for anxiety-related cognitive dysfunctions.

It was a pleasure to welcome Dr Rajiv Bahl, Secretary to Government of India, Department of Health Research and Director General, @ICMRDELHI, yesterday in @IITKanpur.
Faculty members, students & start-ups of IIT Kanpur participated in the meeting to discuss & display the ICMR funded projects & the flagship projects of Gangwal School of Medical Sciences & Technology (GSMST). Dr Bahl appreciated the innovations and discussed the ways of strengthening clinical validation of these innovations in collaboration with ICMR.
Myself along with Prof S Ganesh, Professor Sandeep Verma, Prof A.R. Harish and Prof Amitabha Bandyopadhyay, Prof K Muralidhar and other faculty members, discussed on future possibilities of association and collaboration with ICMR, for strategizing the academics for the Medical school, and Bio design and Bioengineering research & Innovation in IIT Kanpur.

Now is an exciting time to be preparing a new open publishing platform (nmop.io). Feels like there's something in the air. We're finally reaching breaking point with big commercial publishers. 🎉
Hoping to start building it in earnest some time this year. 🤞
Neuroscientists shunning Elsevier, and Political Philosophers abandoning Wiley.
Is the big 5 commercial publishing house of cards about to collapse?
Where’s the free labour going to come from now? AI editors and reviewers?

Presenting research poster at NIBS-EMBO workshop @cogsiitgn @EMBO
Amazing workshop. Having a great time learning about brain stimulation.
Sharing some more #pictures from the poster presentation session during lunch! Glad to see the engagement between #research scholars and attendees of @EMBO @India_Alliance Non-invasive #brain stimulation lecture course.

!!!! Ok I recorded a (new!) 2h25m lecture on "The spelled-out intro to neural networks and backpropagation: building micrograd" youtube.com/watch?v=VMj-3S1t… .
This is the culmination of about 8 years of obsessing about the best way to explain neural nets and backprop.
