🎉 #GSoC2023 project: Code editor support for Brian model equations🎉
Contributor: Abhishek Tiwari
Mentors: @MarcelStimberg @neuralreckoning
Project: Write a Brian-specific “Language Server extension” & syntax highlighting rules, that provide these features for…
#ChatGPT knows Brian! Sort-of. Don't actually run this code, it will run (impressive!) but not do what you want. There's no initial_weights argument, and setting weights before creating synapses won't do anything. h/t @MatthiasHennig6
⏰ Reminder: @denis_alevi will talk about Brian2CUDA in ~30min.
More info and Zoom link: ocns.github.io/SoftwareWG/20…
1/✨Our Brian2CUDA paper is finally out in @FrontiersIn✨
Just in time for my talk TOMORROW (3.11.) at 1600 UTC @INCFOrg Software WG. Join us if you want to speed up your spiking neural network simulations with @briansimulator on GPUs 🎉

New paper out: Brian simulations on the GPU via Brian2CUDA 🎉
If you want to know more, have a look at the paper linked below or join @denis_alevi for his talk tomorrow (Nov 3rd) at the @INCForg software working group meeting 📺.

✨ Reminder that we'll have a free and online Brian tutorial this Thursday (10:30–13:30 UTC, June 30th) ✨
We are also looking for helpers, see this post: brian.discourse.group/t/onli…

I've uploaded all materials for the @CosyneMeeting tutorial on spiking neural networks. Please feel free to take a look even if you aren't coming to Cosyne. There's two 45m videos and three Jupyter notebooks with exercises, plus extra reading materials. neural-reckoning.github.io/c…

New paper! If you're interested in just how difficult it is — even with the power of @GeNNTeam😉— to close the gap in performance between deep feedforward convolutional ANNs and SNNs, this one's for you!

Happy to be on board for another year of #GSoC with @INCForg 🎉
(pending approval as mentor org)!
This year we offer 5 project ideas (but feel free to contact us if you have other ideas 💡). Some more details in the 🧵 below 👇 (1/6)
It's official: for the 12th time, INCF has applied to be a #GSoC mentoring organization 🎉
Our Ideas List has 47 projects. If you go to Neurostars you can reach out to mentors & discuss projects!

10.4: Better OpenMP support
Brian's C++ standalone mode can parallelize simulations over multiple threads with OpenMP, but currently it only deals with the "low-hanging fruits" 🍇 – there's plenty of room for improvement, in particular for synaptic propagation 🧨 (5/6)
10.5: Improved parser
Brian's model descriptions are based on equations which get parsed. If something goes wrong, error messages are often not helpful. It would be great to improve this, and also keep additional information such as comments around.
