The “Padova Neuroscience Center-PNC” is glad to inform that one of our PhD Students, Arianna Menardi, has been recently awarded for her presentations during a Conference.

 

Arianna Menardi won a Poster Award with her presentation “Network-targeted TMS stimulation via individualized target selection: a new route toward enhanced reliability”, during the “Transcranial Brain Stimulation in Cognitive Neuroscience Workshop- II Edition” organized by the Center for Mind/Brain Science- CIMeC (https://event.unitn.it/tbs-cnw/).

 

Miriam Celli and Tommaso Volpi awarded a prize

The “Padova Neuroscience Center-PNC” is glad to inform that two of our PhD Students, Miriam Celli and Tommaso Volpi, have been recently awarded for their presentations during two Conferences.

Miriam Celli won the “SIPF Youth Award” as Best Scientific Contribution with her presentation, called “Resting-State EEG Signatures of Visual Exploration Styles”, during the XVIII Conference of the Società Italiana di Psicofisiologia e Neuroscienze Cognitive

 

Tommaso Volpi won the “Gamma Prize 2020” for the Best oral proffered talk, with his presentation called: “The negative relationship between brain metabolism and its network dynamics: stability requires more energy”, during the Pet is Wonderful 2020’s Conference.

Memristive synapses connect brain and silicon spiking neurons

“Brain function relies on circuits of spiking neurons with synapses playing the key role of merging transmission with memory storage and processing. Electronics has made important advances to emulate neurons and synapses and brain-computer interfacing concepts that interlink brain and brain-inspired devices are beginning to materialise. We report on memristive links between brain and silicon spiking neurons that emulate transmission and plasticity properties of real synapses.”
