Connectionists: Research internship for 2nd year master student in Toulouse, France

[Timothée Masquelier]

TOPIC: Spiking neural networks for bird song detection
SUPERVISORS: Timothée Masquelier (computational neuroscience) and Thomas
Pellegrini (machine learning for audio processing)
STARTING DATE: early 2019
DURATION: 5 months
PLACE: Toulouse, France (Centre de Recherche Cerveau et Cognition and
Institut de Recherche en Informatique de Toulouse)
STIPEND: 560€/month

The goal of the internship is to use spiking neural networks (SNN) to
