CLASS:PUBLIC
DESCRIPTION:On Wednesday\, April 22\, 3:30 p.m. in DC 1304\n\nWilten Nicola
 \,  Hotchkiss Brain Institute\, U Calgary\n(https://www.nicolacomputation
 alneurosciencelab.com/) will speak on\n\nTitle:  Subthreshold Asynchronou
 s States and Pattern Generation in\nBiophysically Detailed Populations of 
 Neurons\n\nAbstract: Learning with spikes is difficult.  Spikes are\nmeta
 bolically costly and difficult to stabilize for computation. \nHere\, we 
 demonstrate that excitatory/inhibitory asynchronous states\ncan exist with
 out firing spikes through self-sustaining subthreshold\nvoltage fluctuatio
 ns in networks of biophysically detailed\nHodgkin-Huxley neurons.  This n
 ovel subthreshold asynchronous state\,\nwhich we call voltage chaos\, can 
 be controlled for useful computation\nand pattern generation also without 
 firing spikes.  Our work here\nprovides computational evidence for the ex
 istence of neural circuits\nthat compute exclusively with subthreshold dy
 namics.
