Schematic

Using noise to regulate information flow in neural networks

Researchers have developed a learning mechanism that uses the natural variability of neural activity — often dismissed as random “noise” — to understand how synapses buried deep inside brain networks — or brain-inspired devices — can adapt to improve the learning capabilities of the networks as a whole.

Scaling up BrainScaleS-2: connecting neuromorphic chips for larger networks

A single BrainScaleS-2 chip can emulate hundreds of neurons and more than 130,000 synaptic connections. But to study larger and more complex neural networks, researchers need to connect many such chips and make them work in unison.
