A neuroscientist by training, turned artificial neural network researcher and engineer, neuromorphics engineer and software developer. I love exploring new things !
I currently hold a postdoc position in the lab of Thomas Cleland at Cornell University oriented towards a computational neuroscience approach where we are working on the development of better olfactory processing models and the implementation of these models in neuromorphic architectures.</description></item><item><title>New website theme</title><link>https://jeremyforest.com/posts/2024_new_theme/</link><pubDate>Fri, 23 Feb 2024 01:56:52 -0500</pubDate><guid>https://jeremyforest.com/posts/2024_new_theme/</guid><description>Changed theme I updated the website&amp;rsquo;s theme with this one.

I&amp;rsquo;m showing data and examples of why dendrites can be a neat mechanism for biologically inspired innovation to overcome catastrophic forgetting.
Abstract: Dendrites constitute a major unit element of biological neurons and more generally biological neural networks. Their multiple properties have mostly been ignored by the broader neuroscience and machine learning communities due to their lack of conceptual usefulness. So far, the theoretical framework of dendrites has been more or less that of summarizing the synaptic input activity to the soma.</description></item></channel></rss>
