Attention: Due to an upgrade beginning on Friday, the 22nd August 2025, any new collabs, groups and any changes to teams will not be kept beyond the weekend. User creation will also be disabled during this time. The actual upgrade will take place on Wednesday, 27th August. On that day, any service requiring a Keycloak login will be unavailable for the duration of the upgrade. Thank you for your understanding as we complete this important work.

For the duration of the maintenance period, Collaboration and Group creation features will be temporarily disabled and will return HTTP 503 Service Unavailable errors until further notice.

3 The LU.I Neuron Demonstrator [[https:~~/~~/github.com/giant-axon/lu.i-neuron-pcb>>url:https://github.com/giant-axon/lu.i-neuron-pcb]] is a printed circuit board (PCB), which features a configurable, fully analog implementation of the leaky integrate-and-fire neuron model. It visualizes the //membrane potential// through a VU-meter-style chain of LEDs. Multiple //lu.i// boards can be connected to form simple neural networks.

5 The primary aim of the board is to serve as a "graspable" demonstration of a highly simplified building block of an analog spiking neural network, working in "decelerated real time", so that the operation is visible to the naked eye.

10 For real research we offer the BrainScaleS system. This system features 512 neuron circuits per chip with complex dynamics and parameters to tune the neurons, operating at 1000x real time. Each neuron circuit integrates synaptic stimuli from a column of 256 plastic synapses and on chip programmable plasticity rules.
