I'm working with the nestml 7.0.2. I got the example models from https://github.com/nest/nestml/blob/v7.0.2/models/neurons/hill_tononi.nestml this git tree. I tried three different stdp models including stdp_triplet_naive.nestml. All give AssertionError: Synapses only support one spiking input port when I generate_target in python. -Chris

Regular LIF with adaptive threshold

by jona.m.scholz＠gmail.com

Hello everyone, just a quick question in case anybody knows: is there a LIF model that has an adaptive spike threshold in NEST? I know there's the GLIF model which can have a threshold, but it seems to bring other deviations from the conventional LIF model that I want to avoid. There's also the adaptive exponential integrate and fire model, but again I don't want the exponential part. It's not a problem if no such model exists in NEST, I am only asking so I don't reimplement an existing model. Any feedback would be appreciated. Kind regards, Jona

Open NEST Developer Video Conference Monday September 9, at 11:30 CEST (UTC+0200)

by Dennis Terhorst

Dear NEST Users & Developers! I would like to invite you to our next fortnightly Open NEST Developer Video Conference today *Monday September 9, at 11:30 CEST (UTC+0200).* As usual, in the Project team round, a contact person of each team will give a short statement summarizing ongoing and planned work in the team and highlight cross-cutting points that need discussion among the teams. The remainder of the meeting we would go into a more in-depth discussion of topics that came up on the mailing list or that are suggested by the teams. Feel free to join the meeting also if it’s just to bring your own quick questions for direct discussion in the in-depth section. Agenda * Welcome * Review of NEST User Mailing List * Project team round * In-depth discussion The agenda for this meeting is also available online, see https://github.com/nest/nest-simulator/wiki/2024-09-09-Open-NEST-Developer-… <https://github.com/nest/nest-simulator/wiki/2024-09-09-Open-NEST-Developer-…> Looking forward to seeing you soon! Cheers, Dennis Terhorst Log-in information We use a virtual conference room provided by DFN <https://www.dfn.de/en/> (Deutsches Forschungsnetz). You can use the web client to connect. We however encourage everyone to use a headset for better audio quality or even a proper video conferencing system (see below) or software when available. Web client * Visit https://conf.dfn.de/webapp/conference/97938800 <https://conf.dfn.de/webapp/conference/97938800> * Enter your name and allow your browser to use camera and microphone * The conference does not need a PIN to join, just click join and you’re in. In case you see a dfnconf logo and the phrase “Auf den Meetingveranstalter warten”, just be patient, the meeting host needs to join first (a voice will tell you). VC system/software How to log in with a video conferencing system, depends on you VC system or software. * Using the H.323 protocol (eg Polycom): |vc.dfn.net##97938800| or |194.95.240.2##97938800| * Using the SIP protocol:97938800@vc.dfn.de <mailto:97938800@vc.dfn.de> * By telephone: |+49-30-200-97938800| For those who do not have a video conference system or suitable software, Polycom provides a pretty good free app for iOS and Android, so you can join from your tablet (Polycom RealPresence Mobile, available from AppStore/PlayStore). Note that firewalls may interfere with videoconferencing in various and sometimes confusing ways.

Invitation for Article Submissions

by David Wack

Greetings Everyone, Paul John Werbos, Rajendra D Badgaiyan, Konstantinos Slavakis, and I are bringing key researchers together in a focused project on 'Modeling brain circuits as intelligent systems'. Here's a link to find out more about the project: https://www.frontiersin.org/researchtopic/64421. This topic is an extension of a US NSF push led by Dr. Werbos in 2007. We believe that members of this community would have much to offer and we would like to invite you to participate. If you are interested, please let me know directly, and I will send an invitation link: dswack(a)buffalo.edu<mailto:dswack@buffalo.edu> We are trying to finalize the leading group of participating authors in the next two weeks, so we can start publishing our work before the topic closes on 07 March 2025. Our Research Topic will be hosted in Frontiers in Systems Neuroscience Impact Factor: 3.1 Cite Score: 6.0 Frontiers will provide a team to help develop and promote our project, and we'll have a dedicated space in the journal to showcase our collective work and to amplify its impact and visibility. I'm looking forward to seeing your work and exploring this emerging topic together. I really think we can push this field forward as a team. All the best, dave David S. Wack, PhD dswack(a)buffalo.edu Associate Professor, Depts. of Nuclear Medicine and Biomedical Engineering University at Buffalo, USA P.S. Frontiers is a publisher created by scientists for scientists. We created Research Topics to give emerging research communities a platform. They bring together leading researchers to accelerate the development of cutting-edge research themes. As an open access publisher, Frontiers applies article publishing charges (APCs) to make research freely open and available for all. You can find more information here.
