Here, we describe a multicompartment neuron circuit based on the adaptive-exponential I&F (AdEx) model, developed for the second-generation BrainScaleS hardware. Based on an existing modular leaky integrate-and-fire (LIF) architecture designed in 65-nm CMOS, the circuit features exponential spike generation, neuronal adaptation, intercompartmental connections as well as a conductance-based reset. The design reproduces a diverse set of firing patterns observed in cortical pyramidal neurons. Further, it enables the emulation of sodium and calcium spikes, as well as N-methyl-D-aspartate plateau potentials known from apical and thin dendrites. We characterize the AdEx circuit extensions and exemplify how the interplay between passive and nonlinear active signal processing enhances the computational capabilities of single (but structured) on-chip neurons.

Mixed signal analog/digital neuromorphic circuits represent an ideal medium for reproducing bio-physically realistic dynamics of biological neural systems in real-time. However, similar to their biological counterparts, these circuits have limited resolution and are affected by a high degree of variability. By developing a recurrent spiking neural network model of the retinocortical visual pathway, we show how such noisy and heterogeneous computing substrate can produce linear receptive fields tuned to visual stimuli with specific orientations and spatial frequencies.

Article Synopsis
- Monthly runoff forecasting is crucial for effective water resource management, but using a single model for all components can reduce accuracy.
- The proposed mixed signal processing model combines different machine learning techniques (SVM and LSTM) with signal decomposition methods (like Variational Mode Decomposition) to improve the accuracy of individual runoff components.
- Results from the Pingshi Hydrological Station showed that this hybrid approach outperformed traditional homogeneous models, leading to improved validation R values and reduced RMSE, emphasizing the significance of proper model selection in runoff forecasting.

This paper presents the development of a novel eddy current array (ECA) system for real-time, layer-by-layer quality control in powder bed fusion (PBF) additive manufacturing. The system is integrated into the recoater of a PBF machine to provide spatially resolved electrical conductivity imaging of the manufactured part. The system features an array of 40 inductive sensors spaced at 1 mm pitch and is capable of performing a full array readout every 0.

The robust rotor structure and fault-tolerance characteristics of the Switched Reluctance Motors (SRMs) are the best choice for next-generation Electric Vehicle (EV) applications. This machine has few restraints like high torque and flux ripples. However, the existing Model Predictive Control (MPC) using multiple control objectives and maximum sectors in the switching table results in high torque ripples due to the improper sector partition, Voltage Vectors (VVs) and weight factor ( ) selection.

Article Synopsis
- Suprasellar hypothalamic-opticochiasmatic gliomas (HOCG) and craniopharyngiomas (CP) are difficult to differentiate on standard MRI due to their similar appearances and proximity to critical brain structures.
- This study analyzed 13 cases of HOCG and 16 cases of CP, using diffusion tensor imaging (DTI) alongside conventional MRI to improve diagnosis and surgical planning.
- DTI provided valuable insights into tumor growth patterns, aiding in safer surgical approaches and better outcomes by avoiding damage to vital brain fibers, ultimately enhancing patient quality of life.
