What makes Neuromorphic Computing Neuromorphic?
Neuromorphic computing is often introduced as a brain inspired way of computing. This definition leaves a lot to the imagination, even for people who know a lot about brains. How far does this inspiration need to go for something to be considered neuromorphic? Many deep neural networks are inspired by pathways of the brain but…
Eventplots with Color in Matplotlib
Here we will learn how to color individual events in a Matplotlib eventplot. An eventplot most commonly shows the timing of events (x axis) from different sources (y axis). Assigning different colors to the sources can be done easily with the colors parameter of the plt.eventplot function. However, color coding each event requires us to…
Structural Causal Models to Clarify Causality in Neuroscience
Neuroscience is full of causal questions. Is this brain area necessary for a behavior? Does this drug decrease seizure frequency in epileptic patients? Does the firing rate of a neuron influence the firing rate of that other neuron? But while there are many different causal questions there are also slightly different notions of causality. Barack…
Wind and Solar Power Generation
As the world tries to stop planet warming emissions, solar and wind power have taken central stage. One of the reason solar and wind go well together is their complementary seasonal pattern. The magnitude of this pattern depends on the location but in Europe winter means less solar power but more wind power. Summer on…
