Information about the call can be found here<https://www.unicam.it/bandi/2023/bando-47966-del-5-luglio-2023>. The deadline for applying to the position is the 4th of August. The project description can be found here<https://www.unicam.it/sites/default/files/bandi/2023/07/All1-Topic%20list_P…> under ‘Code 4.5’. Project title: Functional modeling of brain dynamics: investigation of cognitive functions through the lens of dynamical systems. Keywords: neural coding, neuronal manifolds, modeling, dynamical system reconstruction, RNN, statistical mechanics Host Institution: Sant'Anna School of Advanced Studies, BioRobotics Institute Reference person/supervisor: Russo Eleonora; eleonora.russo(a)santannapisa.it Research topic description: Understanding the dynamical system governing neuronal activity is crucial for unraveling how the brain performs cognitive functions. Historically, various forms of recurrent neural networks (RNNs) have been suggested as simplified models of the cortex. Recently, owing to remarkable advancements in the field of machine learning, RNNs' inherent ability to capture temporal dependencies has been leveraged to develop tools for approximating unknown dynamical systems directly by training on observed time-series data. Concurrently, improvements in electrophysiological recording techniques have enabled the simultaneous recording of hundreds of neurons in animals performing complex behavioral tasks. These parallel developments present a unique opportunity to characterize comprehensively population dynamics and parametrize the neuronal manifold, thereby constructing functional models of cognitive functions. The objective of this research project is to further refine RNN-based algorithms, tailoring them to investigate neuronal dynamics, and applying them to experimental data. Research team and environment The Ph.D. student will carry out his/her studies at the BioRobotics Institute of Sant'Anna School of Advanced Studies. The project will expose the student to a highly interdisciplinary context, in tight collaboration with theoretical and experimental neuroscientists. At the BioRobotics Institute, the research groups involved will be the Brain Dynamics Lab, the Computational Neuroengineering Lab, and the Bioelectronics and Bioengineering Area.

Dear Colleagues, We are pleased to announce the 6.1 release of CARLsim. CARLsim is an efficient, easy-to-use, GPU-accelerated library for simulating large-scale spiking neural network (SNN) models with a high degree of biological detail. CARLsim allows execution of networks of Izhikevich spiking neurons with realistic synaptic dynamics on both generic x86 CPUs and standard off-the-shelf GPUs. The simulator provides a PyNN-like programming interface in C/C++, which allows for details and parameters to be specified at the synapse, neuron, and network level. CARLsim, which is in its 6th major iteration, is open-source and publicly available. With the release of CARLsim 6.1, we introduce axonal plasticity to simulate the biological phenomenon of experience dependent plasticity to the conductance velocity of axonal signaling. Axonal plasticity appears to be important for synchronization, skill learning, and many other potential applications. More information about the implementation and an example application can be found in our recent IJCNN paper, "Experience-Dependent Axonal Plasticity in Large-Scale Spiking Neural Network Simulations", which can be found at: https://www.socsci.uci.edu/~jkrichma/CARLsim61-IJCNN2023.pdf CARLsim 6.1 is available on GitHub: https://github.com/UCI-CARL/CARLsim6 Best regards, Jeff Krichmar Department of Cognitive Sciences 2328 Social & Behavioral Sciences Gateway University of California, Irvine Irvine, CA 92697-5100 jkrichma(a)uci.edu http://www.socsci.uci.edu/~jkrichma https://www.penguinrandomhouse.com/books/716394/neurorobotics-by-tiffany-j-…
