The hosts compete by pitching original ideas for theme park rides and attractions based on that week’s chosen theme. A special guest judge awards a Bronze, Silver, or Gold ticket for three separate categories. MOST CREATIVE MOST PRACTICAL GUEST’S FAVORITE With bragging rights on the line, the hosts will try to pick each other’s ideas apart through “GENTLE” ribbing trying to sway the judge’s favor.

Every year the Arnold Sommerfeld Center (ASC) for Theoretical Physics at the LMU in Munich organizes a school for PhD students. It covers topics which are of current interest in theoretical physics and range from more applied fields like condensed matter physics to rather mathematical fields like string theory. Announcements of upcoming schools can be found on the ASC schools webpage and a list of past schools can be found in the archive of the ASC schools.

Today’s AI is largely based on supervised learning of neural networks using the backpropagation-of-error synaptic learning rule. This learning rule relies on differentiation of continuous activation functions and is thus not directly applicable to spiking neurons. Today’s guest has developed the algorithm SuperSpike to address the problem. He has a…

The guest’s theory is that V1 acts as a “saliency detector” directing the gaze to the most important object in the visual…

It is widely thought that spikes (action potentials) are the main carrier of information in the brain. But what is the neural code, that is, what aspects of the spike trains carry the information? The detailed temporal structure or maybe only the average firing rate? And is there information in the correlation between spike trains in populations of…
