How does the structure of a neural circuit shape its function?

It's a wrap!
We are happy to bring IMRF 2025 to a close, but also sad to say goodbye to so many lovely, smart people! (or at least "until next year").

#IMRF2025 Group picture just dropped!!
Can you find yourself?

Visualizations from previous work with @rodlaje.bsky.social. The two output units in the top panel are driven by a chaotic RNN-and a small perturbation is injected at 0.16. In the lower panel the RNN is trained to "tame chaos"-creating a "dynamic attractor"-and a larger perturbation is injected.

Have you ever done a dense grid search over neural network hyperparameters? Like a *really dense* grid search? It looks like this (!!). Blueish colors correspond to hyperparameters for which training converges, redish to those for which training diverges.

We are ready to welcome first participants of our FroBio Conference organized with FRIAS Institute 🤖🧑‍🔬🧪
