SNUFA 2025
Brief summary. This online workshop brings together researchers in the fields of computational neuroscience, machine learning, and neuromorphic engineering to present their work and discuss ways of translating these findings into a better understanding of neural circuits. Topics include artificial and biologically plausible learning algorithms and the dissection of trained spiking circuits toward understanding neural processing. We have a manageable number of talks with ample time for discussions.
Program committee. David Kappel, Julijana Gjorgjieva, Dan Goodman, and Friedemann Zenke.
Key information
Workshop. 5-6 November 2025, European afternoons (online).
Invited speakers. Elisabetta Chicca (University of Groningen), Jason Eshraghian (UC Santa Cruz), Tomoki Fukai (OIST), Chengcheng Huang (Pitt).
Format
- Two half days
- 4 invited talks
- 7 contributed talks
- Flash talks by selected poster presenters
- Virtual poster session
Registration
Attendance is free, but registration is required (to receive the streaming links).
Abstract submission
Deadline: Sept 26, 2025 (anywhere on earth)
Abstracts will be made publicly available at the end of the abstract submissions deadline for blinded public comments and ratings. We will select the most highly rated abstracts for contributed talks and flash talks, subject to maintaining a balance between the different fields of, broadly speaking, neuroscience, computer science and neuromorphic engineering. Abstracts not selected for a talk, and abstracts selected for a flash talk, will be presented as posters.
