🧠Our latest collaborative work, led by Xundong Wu and published in @cp-patterns.bsky.social, shows that adding dendritic nonlinearities to ANNs slashes communication costs. This is a key for the next generation of sustainable AI systems.

Artificial neural networks typically ignore the complex, active branches found in
biological neurons. This study challenges the assumption that these “dendritic nonlinearities”
primarily boost computa...
Congratulations to Dr. Ioanna Pandi! 👏
She successfully defended her thesis, "Synaptic Engram of Flexible Behavior."
Working with Dr. @yiotapoirazi.bsky.social, Ioanna is the first person to complete an experimental project in the lab. A talented scientist with a bright career ahead!
