I'm a long time Julia user and passionate programmer. My background is in physics, but I'm currently working with Neuroblox.jl to develop computational neuroscience software in Julia. I like tinkering with interesting problems, and helping people learn to use Julia.
Session
Neuroblox.jl is designed for computational neuroscience, pharmaceutical, and psychiatric applications. Our tools range from control circuit system identification to brain circuit simulations bridging scales from spiking neurons to fMRI-derived circuits, parameter-fitting models to neuroimaging data, interactions between the brain and other physiological systems, experimental optimization, and scientific machine learning.
In this talk we will give an update on the new features we added in the last year, including a new DSL for interacting with Neuroblox, a rich library of pharmacologically relevant receptors, and new GUI features. We'll also discuss our progress on running Neuroblox on various accelerators, and algorithmic improvements we've made to our solving infrastructure.
