Summer course content for Neuromatch Academy

Hi there 👋 I'm Jeremy Forest

I'm a bit of a jack of all trade. A neuroscientist by training, turned artificial neural network researcher and engineer, neuromorphics engineer and software developer. I love exploring new things !

• 🔭 I’m currently working on multiple projects:

  • Annolid, a computer vision project based on instance segmentation that is able to perform accurate classification of animal behavior.
  • Sapicore and Sapinet (closed repo) which are used in my research on olfactory-inspired spiking neural network development.

• 🔭 One of my personal projects include:

  • Getting my homelab in a state compatible with Infrastructure-as-Code. Its slow going ;)

• 🌱 I’m currently learning Generative-AI to code up a personal learning assistant aimed at helping students learn more efficiently.

• 👯 I’m looking to collaborate on various research projects.

  • I am looking at how brain-inspired activity rules can help artificial neural network learn more sparsly and efficiently.
  • I want to investigate how similar dendrite computations are to transformer computations and if dendritic-inspired computations can enhance transformer-like networks in spiking nets.

• 💬 Ask me about anything! Really :)

• 📫 You can reach me at [email protected]

• 😄 Pronouns: he/him

• ⚡ Fun fact: My 2 years-old twins like sticking sticker on my face
