On Monday, the 11th of november, a group of neuroscientific computing enthusiasts gathered in the Fortiss Research Institute, with a beautiful view of Munich and the Alps, and until the friday of the same week, worked day and night on completing tasks focusing on topics ranging from Spiking Neural Networks (SNNs) to Event-Based Datasets. Inspired by the story-like view, each team put all their effort into expanding on priorly-worked on research projects. These were provided by Fortiss, NeuroTUM, IBM Research Center and last but certainly not least a deep-tech start-up Neurobus.

On June 27th 2023 we were proud to host our first seminar devoted to the topic ofNeurotechnologies. We aimed to engage more people in the field and share our ideas aboutdifferent BCI approaches. It was a great opportunity to learn from experts and showcase ourprogress. We believe that the event enriched everyone's knowledge and sparked curiosity.

From November 6th to 9th, we at neuroTUM, in collaboration with Fortiss Neuromorphic Labs and Intel, hosted a neuromorphic hackathon. Here, we delved deep into the exciting world of neuromorphic computing, using the teachings of our own complex neural system to solve problems, that require energy efficiency, continual learning, and pattern recognition. In this article we take a closer look at the projects that emerged.
