[zeromq-dev] zeromq + fpga

[Gerard Toonstra]

One of my interests and pet projects is an FPGA with a very small neural
network to understand the
neural dynamics better. It's not applicable to anything in the real world
yet, so it's mostly for analysis purposes
and gaining better understandings. Obviously, I'm very interested in knowing
about the efforts of other people who
are engaging in similar projects. My main model is derived from Hodgkin /
Huxley, thus highly inspired on the
ion channel dynamics, although in its infancy so rather simple in structure.
It's purpose is not yet to do anything useful,
but to demonstrate the dynamics.

If you're interested in perhaps exchanging some opinions, msg me in private.
