Conference on meditation and science
by Pedro Resende April 13, 2014

April 13, 2014

CONFERENCE ON MEDITATION AND SCIENCE TIME AND PLACE: Monday, May 5, 2014, from 18:30 to 20:30, at Auditorium of Biblioteca Almeida Garrett, Porto, Portugal SPEAKER: Matthieu Ricard (PhD, Buddhist Monk - http://www.matthieuricard.org) PANEL DISCUSSION: - Alexandre Castro Caldas (Director of Instituto de Ciências da Saúde, Univ. Católica, Portugal) - João Relvas (Instituto de Biologia Molecular e Celular, Univ. Porto, Portugal) - João Forjaz de Lacerda (Faculdade de Medicina, Univ. Lisboa, Portugal), moderator DESCRIPTION: During the past 20 years, neuroscientists have learned that the plasticity of the human brain is greater than previously known, and that it can be modified by both internal and external factors via the exposition to new events and training processes. In this conference, Matthieu Ricard will present the benefits of meditation - mind training - for overcoming the power that obsessive thoughts and negative emotions have over our minds, a power which undermines our well being and ultimately is the deep cause of suffering. He will describe work carried out by neuroscientists at prestigious research centers in the USA, such as Madison, Princeton, and Berkeley, and in Europe, such as the Max Planck Institute in Leipzig, among others, and results showing that mind training can bring deep changes to our personalities. The talk will be followed by a panel discussion with Prof. Alexandre Castro Caldas (Univ. Católica), Dr. João Relvas (Univ. Porto), and Prof. João Forjaz de Almeida (Univ. Lisboa) as moderator. REGISTRATION (SCIENTIFIC ATTENDEES): If you would like to attend please send an email to office(a)krfportugal.org containing your name, scientific affiliation, and email address. The available space is limited, and seats will be assigned on a first come first served basis. There is no registration fee.

Fully-funded PhD Studentship in Computational Neuroscience and Biophysics, Imperial College London
by Tobias Reichenbach April 13, 2014

April 13, 2014

EEG assessment of central auditory disorder in patients with brain injury The Group for Biophysics of Hearing and Sensory Neuroscience (http://www.bg.ic.ac.uk/research/reichenbach/) at the Department of Bioengineering, Imperial College London, is looking for a highly motivated PhD student. The PhD project is embedded in the new EPSRC Centre for Doctoral Training in Neurotechnology for Life and Health at Imperial College London (http://www3.imperial.ac.uk/neurotechnology/cdt) Our auditory environment is highly complex: different speakers often talk at the same time, music plays in the background, cars drive by. Our central nervous system is highly effective in analyzing such an auditory scene; for example, we can easily understand a speaker despite background noise. A range of neurological disorders can, however, impair the cognitive processes necessary to parse an acoustic scene and hence significantly impair a person's life. Both the brain's auditory processing as well as the associated disorder remain poorly understood. The graduate project will develop methods to assess the brain’s processing of complex auditory signals such as speech and music through noninvasive electroencephalographic (EEG) recordings. The methods will be used to diagnose patients with brain injury whose auditory processing is impaired. As an example, the project will study patients with aphasic stroke that affects brain regions for communication and language. The research will help to better understand the neurological basis of such disorder and help to develop novel rehabilitation strategies. The project will involve EEG data acquisition, advanced data analysis, machine learning, computational modeling and collaboration with clinical researchers. Candidates should have a degree in mathematics, physics, engineering, or computer science, solid quantitative and computational abilities, and a strong interest in working on biomedical problems. Eligible candidates must be EU nationals. Applicants should send their CV and a cover letter together with a copy of transcripts to Tobias Reichenbach (reichenbach(a)imperial.ac.uk) Applicants should also arrange for two letters of recommendation to be sent to Tobias Reichenbach. Closing date is 02 May 2014. The Department of Bioengineering at Imperial College London is performing internationally-leading, multi-disciplinary research in biomechanics, neurobiology, neurotechnology, and further related areas. More information about the department and about Imperial College can be found online (http://www3.imperial.ac.uk/bioengineering/about and http://www3.imperial.ac.uk/aboutimperial) ------------------------------------------- Tobias Reichenbach Lecturer Department of Bioengineering Imperial College London http://www.bg.ic.ac.uk/research/reichenbach/

Second Announcement: International workshop on Neurodynamics (NDy14)
by Roberto Barrio April 11, 2014

April 11, 2014

We are pleased to send you the Second announcement of the --------------------------------------------------------------------- INTERNATIONAL WORKSHOP ON NEURODYNAMICS (NDy14) July 14-17, 2014 Castro-Urdiales, Spain http://cody.unizar.es/events/neurodynamics14 http://www.ciem.unican.es/international-workshop-neurodynamics *** Scientific committee *** R. Barrio (University of Zaragoza) Spain S. Coombes (University of Nottingham) UK A. Guillamon (Universitat Politecnica de Catalunya - Barcelona Tech) Spain M. Wechselberger (University of Sydney) Australia A. Shilnikov (Georgia State University) USA Neuroscience is nowadays one of the most collaborative and active scientific research fields as it has been increasingly involving the participation of experts from other disciplines. In particular, computational and mathematical aspects of neuroscience are currently playing an important role both in modeling and replicating experimental findings and in explaining the underlying mechanisms of neurophysiological or cognitive processes. Differential equations are ubiquitous in the modeling of such phenomena and, consequently, nonlinear dynamics and dynamical systems techniques become fundamental sources of new mathematical and computational tools to study neuroscience models. The aim of this Workshop on Neurodynamics (NDy'14) is to present an overview of successful achievements in this rapidly developing collaborative field by putting together different types of applications of nonlinear dynamics (geometrical tools in dynamical systems, numerical methods, computational schemes, dynamical measures,...) to different problems in neuroscience (mononeuronal dynamics, network activity, cognitive problems,...). Additional emphasis will be put on experimental findings seeking for theoretical explanations, and therefore this meeting is focussed on using mathematics as the primary tool for elucidating the fundamental mechanisms responsible for experimentally observed behavior in the applied neurosciences. Importantly, it will draw attention to, those pieces of mathematical theory which are likely to be relevant to future studies of the brain. The final goal is spreading together mathematical methodology and neuroscience challenges and stimulating future cross-collaborations among participants, being Mathematical Neuroscience the generic topic for NDy'14. The workshop length will be 4 days, distributed in special sessions and talks, with several round tables on different topics. --------------------------------------------------------------------- *** IMPORTANT DATES *** Extended Abstract Submission Deadline Short abstract/Title submission deadline 30th April 2014 Payment deadline (reduced fee, 200 Euros) 15th May 2014 Payment deadline (complete fee, 250 Euros) 31st May 2014 The registration includes the coffee-breaks, lunches and social dinner. ---------------------------------------------------------------------

Open post-doc position in Nano-Electronics Design for Embedded NVM-based Cognitive Computing
by BICHLER Olivier April 9, 2014

April 9, 2014

Open Postdoctoral Position in Nano-Electronics Design for Embedded NVM-based Cognitive Computing Novel embedded non-volatile memories, like resistive memory, are a fantastic technology enabler for the low-power chips capable of “cognitive” computing that are necessary for the new Internet of Things. To advance this topic, we are looking for a postdoctoral researcher to join our team in the Nano-Design project of the Campus Paris-Saclay. The goal of the project is to study and design an innovative embedded resistive memory-based neuro-inspired computing architecture, with computer vision as the primary target application. The ability to demonstrate state of the art applicative performance, on a pattern detection or classification problem, with a clear implementation gain, in silicon area or power consumption, is a major challenge for this ambitious project. To this aim, your research will associate high-level computer simulation, HDL modeling and IC design. Your ability to quickly adapt to and master our team simulation frameworks will give you a leading edge in your research. Finally, the realization of a fully integrated hybrid RRAM/CMOS chip demonstrator is a strong objective of the project. You will get to work in interaction with a team of tightly coupled labs of the Campus Paris-Saclay and CEA LETI. Candidates should hold a high-quality PhD in Electrical Engineering, Computer Engineering, Applied Physics or a related field, with experience in analog and/or mixed-signal CMOS electronics, Verilog/VHDL-AMS modeling and software engineering (working knowledge of C++ is a requirement). The candidate should be able to perform schematic capture and spice simulation; knowledge of industry standard tools and flows like Cadence Virtuoso or similar tools would be greatly appreciated. Other relevant subjects (not required for the position) are resistive memory (CBRAM, OXRAM), neuromorphic engineering, deep/convolutional/spiking neural network… Starting month: during 2014 18 months contract. Salary provided along CEA standards. About our team: Our team is composed of the Institut d’Electronique Fondamentale (IEF) in Université Paris-Sud, CNRS, the Laboratory of Innovation in Surface Chemistry and Nanosciences (LICSEN) at CEA IRAMIS and the Laboratory for Enhancing Reliability of Embedded Systems (LFSE) at CEA LIST. We are also working in strong interaction with the CEA LETI in Grenoble. Contacts: Olivier Bichler (olivier.bichler(a)cea.fr<mailto:olivier.bichler@cea.fr>) Christian Gamrat (christian.gamrat(a)cea.fr<mailto:christian.gamrat@cea.fr>) Tel: (+33)1.69.08.28.31 Contexte du projet NanoDesign / NanoDesign Project Context (in french) Les processeurs actuels reposent sur un couple technologie/architecture (CMOS / Von Neumann) ayant fait la preuve de sa remarquable efficacité. Toutefois, plusieurs éléments de contexte incitent à développer des recherches exploratoires, non pour remplacer les technologies existantes mais pour les compléter / les enrichir grâce à des briques de circuits dédiés compétitifs sur certaines gammes de tâches. Parmi ces éléments de contexte, on note en particulier: (i) la problématique de la consommation d'énergie qui s'aggrave avec le scaling, (ii) l'augmentation de la variabilité des dispositifs qui s'aggrave également à l'échelle nanométrique, (iii) l'évolution des domaines d'applications des processeurs avec notamment une augmentation de la demande concernant le traitement de données naturelles (sons, images, signaux biologiques...) et le traitement de très grandes quantités de données (notamment issues de l'internet ou de capteurs massivement distribués). Ces traitements consistent essentiellement en des taches de reconnaissance et de classification, qui nécessitent une quantité très importante de mémoire (constituant la connaissance a priori du système) et pour lesquels l’architecture processeur classique Von Neumann, qui sépare fondamentalement mémoire et unités de calcul, est particulièrement inefficace. Dans ce contexte, le cerveau représente un exemple particulièrement intéressant de système capable de traiter les données naturelles avec une efficacité redoutable, notamment en termes de consommation. Ce traitement d'information est réalisé de façon massivement parallèle, asynchrone et impulsionnelle grâce à un large ensemble de neurones interconnectés via des synapses. Le nombre de synapses par neurone étant de l'ordre de 104, l'implémentation matérielle d'une telle architecture suppose notamment une densité d'intégration extrême des synapses, d'où le lien fort avec les nanotechnologies. En particulier, il a été montré récemment qu’une synapse peut être émulée efficacement par une mémoire analogique à deux terminaux (un memristor). Celle-ci a la propriété de pouvoir se programmer dynamiquement, en impulsionnel, à la manière d’une synapse biologique, ce qui ouvre la voie à l’implémentation de mécanismes d’apprentissage performants et présents dans le vivant, tels que la plasticité synaptique de type STDP (Spike timing-dependent plasticity) [Poo04]. Les équipes du CEA LIST, du CEA IRAMIS et de l’IEF, impliquées dans le projet NanoDesign support de ce post-doc ont travaillé ensemble et séparément sur différents aspects de cette problématique. En particulier, le CEA LIST, dans lequel sera affecté le post-doc, a développé des architectures de circuits adaptées à différentes technologies mémoires (PCM [Bic12a], RRAM [Sur13], mémoires organiques [Bic12b]…) pour réaliser des fonctions de traitement de données neuro-inspirées. Il s’est doté d’une plateforme de simulation, Xnet [Bic13], dédiée à l’étude de ces architectures, intégrant des modèles fonctionnels ou semi-physiques de dispositifs et des méthodes d’apprentissage [Bic12c] (supervisées et non supervisées). Celle-ci a déjà permis de réaliser un certain nombre d’études, dans le cadre de thèses, notamment sur la robustesse de ces circuits vis-à-vis de la variabilité ainsi que sur la co-intégration nano/CMOS [Que13]. Ainsi, avec ce post-doc, dans ce projet, nous proposons notamment : ● De réaliser des assemblées de dispositifs à une échelle suffisante pour la réalisation d’une fonction cognitive de haut niveau (de type détection/classification visuelle). Ceci, dans un schéma d'interconnexion adapté à cette fonction. ● De poursuivre l’étude des modes de codages de l'information impulsionnels et les règles d'apprentissage et/ou de programmation adaptées aux applications et aux dispositifs étudiés. ● De poursuivre le développement de simulations au niveau circuit afin d'évaluer a priori les architectures et d'en comparer les mérites à d'autres formes de traitements des données. ● De réaliser des prototypes de circuits mixtes intégrant des technologies RRAM et des neurones réalisés en électronique conventionnelle. ● De combiner l'ensemble des avancées du projet pour la réalisation d’une fonction cognitive intégrée, de type détection/classification, pour une application réelle de traitement de données visuelles, avec l’ambition de démontrer la viabilité de notre approche à l’échelle d’un prototype pouvant se comparer aux solutions alternatives classiques sur des métriques concrètes (coût, consommation, fiabilité…).
