We will be holding the <a href="http://snufa.net/2022/"><span style="font-size: 10pt">third incarnation of our annual workshop SNUFA</span></a> on spiking neural networks. This online workshop brings together hundreds of researchers in the fields of computational
neuroscience, machine learning, and neuromorphic engineering to present their work and discuss ways of translating these findings into a better understanding of neural circuits. Topics include artificial and biologically plausible learning algorithms and the
dissection of trained spiking circuits toward understanding neural processing. We have a manageable number of talks with ample time for discussions.

<div><span style="font-size: 10pt">Abstracts will be made publicly available at the end of the abstract submissions deadline for blinded public comments and ratings. We will select the most highly rated abstracts for contributed talks, subject to maintaining
a balance between the different fields of, broadly speaking, neuroscience, computer science and neuromorphic engineering. Abstracts not selected for a talk will be presented as posters, and there is an option to submit an abstract directly for a poster and
not a talk if you prefer.</span><br>

<div>The workshop will also feature a debate with all speakers invited. The subject of the debate is yet to be decided - please do get in touch if you have a fun idea!</div>
