Single Unit Studies of Human Intelligence (SUSHI) Symposium 2027
by Daniel Bush Nov. 10, 2026

Nov. 10, 2026

Dear Colleagues, We wish to invite you to attend the SUSHI (Single Unit Studies of Human Intelligence) symposium, a two-day satellite event taking place in Glasgow immediately before the 7th International Conference on Memory (ICOM-7<https://icom-memory.org/>) next year. SUSHI will bring together leading laboratories using human intracranial single-neuron recordings to investigate learning, memory, and higher-order cognition. The symposium is intended as a focused forum for discussing recent advances, emerging methods, and future directions in the study of human single-neuron activity. The programme will consist exclusively of short talks from leading researchers in the field, designed to maximise scientific exchange and discussion. The symposium will be organised around two broad themes: Day 1 - Episodic memory, spatial cognition, and the hippocampus Day 2 - Speech and language, auditory cognition, and the neocortex For those interested in only one of these themes, single-day registration options will be available. We hope that SUSHI will provide a unique opportunity for researchers working with human single-unit recordings to exchange ideas in an intimate setting before joining the broader memory science community at ICOM-7. Further details, including registration information and the scientific programme, can be found on the symposium website here<https://sushi2027.github.io/>. You can sign up to receive further updates via the mailing list here<https://forms.gle/ywq5EFDK3cBckFaY7>.

Final call: Spectral analysis in neuroscience course for non-specialists
by Axel Hutt Nov. 9, 2026

Nov. 9, 2026

Final call for registration ============================================================= Course: Spectral analysis of time series in neuroscience: Fundamental methods ============================================================= The 1-day course addresses fundamental aspects of spectral analysis without diving much into theory, just from a practical point of view. The aim is to provide a fundamental understanding of the different techniques out there to avoid mistakes, artefacts and to be able to choose the best technique for the own data. The course is planned like an interactive workshop, where we discuss analysis techniques and clarify open questions and possibly fill gaps of methodology understanding. The course content addresses non-specialists in mathematical analysis, e.g. researchers with education in neurobiology, medicine or psychology, but of course it is also open to theory-oriented researchers who intend to understand the practical side of spectral analysis in neuroscience. Possible topics to be discussed are, e.g. * Sampling theory * Fourier analysis and its possible artefacts, e.g. aliasing, spectral leakage * Time-frequency analysis (Short-Time Fourier Transform, Wavelet Transform, Hilbert Transform and Empirical Mode Decomposition) and its limits in applications * Synchronisation, coherence and Phase-Amplitude Coupling Event information: * Location: Bernstein Center Freiburg im Breisgau, Großer Hörsaal, Hansastr. 9a , 79104 Freiburg, Germany ( [ https://www.bcf.uni-freiburg.de/ | https://www.bcf.uni-freiburg.de ] ) * Date of course and time: Friday, November 27 2026, 9:15-15:45 * Registration : send an email to Axel Hutt (email address: first name.lastname at inria.fr) * Registration deadline: Monday, November 9 2026 * Registration fee: none, free of charge The course is supported by the Neurowissenschaftliche Gesellschaft ( [ https://www.nwg-info.de/ | https://www.nwg-info.de/ ] ). -- Dr. rer. nat.

Workshop on sign- and goal-tracking, Potsdam, 20–22 Nov 2026 – online participation open to all
by Daniel Schad Nov. 8, 2026

Nov. 8, 2026

Dear colleagues, We would like to invite you to an international workshop on individual differences in Pavlovian conditioned approach: Sign- and goal-tracking: Human data, computational models, and rodent foundations Potsdam, Germany (near Berlin) – Friday 20 November (15:00) to Sunday 22 November 2026 (14:30) https://danielschad.github.io/workshopSTGT.html Research on sign- and goal-tracking has developed rapidly in several partly overlapping areas: rodent work on the neural and neurochemical mechanisms, computational accounts of why identical cue–reward contingencies produce different conditioned responses across individuals, and a growing body of human research using eye-tracking, physical approach tasks, and neural responses to cues and rewards. Researchers from these areas rarely meet in the same room. The aim of the workshop is to compare the approaches side by side – lever autoshaping, gaze-based and neural measures, physical approach tasks, and formal models – and to discuss not only findings but also the practical and methodological details of how the work is done. Speakers and contributors include Patrick Anselme, François Cinotti, Shelly Flagel (online), Sara Garofalo, Michelle Heck, Robert Honey, Jonathan Morrow, Cristina Orsini, Martin Paulus, Terry Robinson (online), Nicola Sambuco, Benjamin Saunders (online), Francesco Versace, and Reinout Wiers (online). Ralf Engbert and Daniel J. Schad facilitate the workshop. How to take part Online: Participation via Zoom is open to everyone. Email us at stgtworkshop.potsdam(a)gmail.com and we will send you the programme and the access details. On site: A small number of places remain in Potsdam (participation fee €70, covering some food and drinks). If you would like to attend in person, please write to us as soon as possible – on-site places are limited and allocated on a first-come, first-served basis. Posters: A poster session open to researchers at all career stages runs alongside the workshop. If you are attending on site and would like to present, please include a title and a short abstract in your email. Please feel free to forward this invitation to colleagues and students who may be interested. With best wishes, Daniel Schad Prof. Dr. Daniel J.

Fwd: World wide VVTNS series (7th season): November 11, 2026 | Dynamical stability in biologically plausible attractor neural networks | Uri Cohen, The Weizmann Institute of Science
by David Hansel Nov. 8, 2026

Nov. 8, 2026

[image: VVTNS.png] https://www.wwtns.online <https://streaklinks.com/A9c7PbbpKY7PxB6PaAJWGD3-/https%3A%2F%2Fwww.wwtns.on…> - on twitter: wwtns@TheoreticalWide You are cordially invited to the lecture Uri Cohen Weizmann Institute for Science on the topic of Dynamical stability in biologically plausible attractor neural networks The lecture will be held on Zoom on November 11, 2026 at *11:00 am ET * To receive the link: https://www.wwtns.online/register-page *Abstract: * Recurrent neural networks are canonical models of biological memory, but previous theoretical approaches to auto-associative memory have studied only highly restrictive conditions that do not readily apply to biological neural circuits. Those approaches ensured memory stability by engineering the model dynamics (e.g., to follow the gradient of a Lyapunov function), so they do not apply to more general classes of dynamical systems. We present an alternative approach that uses a general dynamical system where memory stability is not guaranteed but emerges for certain parameter choices. We develop a theory of the local stability of discrete fixed points in a broad class of networks with graded neural activities and in the presence of noise. Using methods from random matrix theory, we analyze the bulk and outliers of the eigenvalue spectra of the Jacobians that characterize network dynamics around fixed points. We find that either all fixed points are stable or all are unstable, depending on whether their number is below a “critical load for stability”, which differs from the classical “critical capacity”, which measures the maximal number of achievable fixed points regardless of stability. By analyzing how this critical load for stability depends on experimentally measurable quantities that characterize memory-pattern statistics and neuronal activation functions, our analysis highlights the computational benefits of sparse-like patterns and threshold-linear activation functions and offers testable predictions for neural circuits supporting memory. Focusing on hippocampal area CA3, a neural circuit previously suggested to implement auto-associative memory, we partner with experimental collaborators to test the prediction that CA3 pyramidal neurons should use threshold-linear activation. Curating a large dataset of in vivo patch-clamp results for CA3 pyramidal neurons from behaving mice, we provide initial support for this prediction. *About VVTNS: VVTNS is a weekly digital seminar on Zoom targeting the theoretical neuroscience community. Created as the World Wide Neuroscience Seminar (WWTNS) in November 2020 and renamed in homage to Carl van Vreeswijk in Memoriam (April 20, 2022), its aim is to be a platform to exchange ideas among theoreticians. Speakers have the occasion to talk about theoretical aspects of their work which cannot be discussed in a setting where the majority of the audience consists of experimentalists. The seminars are 45 min long followed by a discussion and are held on Wednesdays at 11 am ET. The talks are recorded with authorization of the speaker and are available to everybody on our YouTube channel.* ᐧ
