Title	A new harmonic radar system for tracking insect in 3D
Description	We have designed and built a new generation of harmonic radar for insect tracking.This radar uses five reciever channels tuned to maximal sensitivity at different angles. Comparison of the incoming signal across all five channels provides information on the height of the signal relative to the radar receiver and hence provides tracking information in three dimensions, rather than two as all previous entomological harmonic radar has done.The new radar can also be remotely controlled using WiFi and is intended to be more robust and simpler to use than previous models.
Type Of Material	Improvements to research infrastructure
Year Produced	2020

Title	Cognitive strategy switching in bumblebees
Description	Mapping animal performance in a behavioral task to underlying cognitive mechanisms and strategies is rarely straightforward, since a task may be solvable in more than one manner. Here, we show that bumblebees perform well on a concept-based visual discrimination task, but spontaneously switch from a concept-based solution to a simpler heuristic with extended training, all while continually increasing performance. Bumblebees were trained in an arena to find reward on displays with shapes of different sizes where they could not use low-level visual cues. One group of bees was rewarded at displays with bigger shapes and another group at displays with smaller shapes. Analysis of total choices shows bees increased their performance over 30 bouts to above chance. However, analyses of first and sequential choices suggest that after approximately 20 bouts, bumblebees changed to a win-stay/lose-switch strategy. Comparing bees' behavior to a probabilistic model based on a win-stay/lose-switch strategy further supports the idea that bees changed strategies with extensive training. Analyses of unrewarded tests indicate bumblebees learned and retained the concept of relative size even after they had already switched to a win-stay, lost-shift strategy. We propose that the reason for this strategy switching may be due to cognitive flexibility and efficiency.

Title	Cultural cognition in bumblebees: puzzle box open diffusion opening incidence dataset
Description	Raw data included in the manuscript "Bumblebees acquire alternative puzzle-box solutions via social learning" (previously published as the preprint "The establishment and transmission of novel foraging techniques indicates a capacity for culture in bumblebees (Bombus terrestris)" doi: https://doi.org/10.1101/2022.10.10.511574) Dataset includes the raw data in two seperate csv files, and further 18 csv files that contain the data underlying the figures presented in the manuscript. Details of both can be found below. RAW DATA Contained in two csv files: one compiling all box-opening incidence data in "experiment 1 and 2" (single-demonstrator diffusion experiments run for 6 or 12 consecutive days, respectively) and "experiment 3" (multiple-demonstrator diffusion experiments run for 12 days). Experiment 1 included colonies B1, B2, R1, R2, C1 and C2. Experiment 2 included colonies B3, R3, C3 and C4. Experiment 3 included populations 1R2B2 and 2R2B2. Full methodological details are available in the manuscript. Point events are listed indicating whenever a puzzle-box was opened. For each point event, the colony/population ID, day, camera number and time stamp are included, as is the behavioural variant used ("TabCol", with b = the blue-pushing behavioural variant and r = the red-pushing behavioural variant) and the ID of the bee responsible. "FullOpening" refers to whether the the bee responsible for opening the box pushed the tab =50% of the required distance in the process of doing so. In some cases, tabs would be partially pushed by bees that left before opening the box fully, meaning that bees that would then land on the box and gain the reward would not be pushing the tab all the way. This ensured that all openings assigned to observers involved directed, sustained pushing at the tab, and so were unlikely to be by chance. In the analysis included in the manuscript, whole colony data included demonstrator data and incomplete openings by learners. Data that specifically referred to learners only included only full openings by observers. Untrained bees were considered to have made the transition to learners when they had performed full box-opening twice, irrespective of behavioural variant. FIGURE DATA A total of 18 csv files show the data underlying the following figure panels: Fig. 1C, 1D, 2A, 2B, 3A, 3B, 4B, 4C, 4D, 5A and 5B, and the following supplementary figure panels Fig. S1A, S1B, S2A, S2B, S3A, S3B and S3C.

Title	Data for 'Honeybees solve a multi-comparison ranking task by probability matching'
Description	Honeybees forage on diverse flowers which vary in the amount and type of rewards they offer, and bees are challenged with maximizing the resources they gather for their colony. That bees are effective foragers is clear, but how bees solve this type of complex multi-choice task is unknown. Here, we set bees a five-comparison choice task in which five colours differed in their probability of offering reward and punishment. The colours were ranked such that high ranked colours were more likely to offer reward, and the ranking was unambiguous. Bees' choices in unrewarded tests matched their individual experiences of reward and punishment of each colour, indicating bees solved this test not by comparing or ranking colours but by basing their colour choices on their history of reinforcement for each colour. Computational modelling suggests a structure like the honeybee mushroom body with reinforcement-related plasticity at both input and output can be sufficient for this cognitive strategy.We discuss how probability matching enables effective choices to be made without a need to compare any stimuli directly, and the use and limitations of this simple cognitive strategy for foraging animals.

Title	Data for paper: Wood ants learn the magnetic direction of a route but express uncertainty because of competing directional cues
Description	Data for paper published in Journal of Experimental Biology July 2022 The data for each Ant in the experiments described in all but Figure 7 is held in matlab files with the name as follows: AntU_LN22WESTtest_1522_31072019_Published.mat The data for the experiments with two triangles is held in the zip file TrianglesData.zip which has individual files in the same format as above There is a detailed description of the variables in the file ants_magnets_philippides_dataset_description.pdf Abstract Wood ants were trained indoors to follow a magnetically specified route that went from the centre of an arena to a drop of sucrose at the edge. The arena, placed in a white cylinder, was in the centre of a 3D coil system generating an inclined Earth-strength magnetic field in any horizontal direction. The specified direction was rotated between each trial. The ants' knowledge of the route was tested in trials without food. Tests given early in the day, before any training, show that ants remember the magnetic route direction overnight. During the first 2 seconds of a test, ants mostly faced in the specified direction, but thereafter were often misdirected, with a tendency to face briefly in the opposite direction. Uncertainty about the correct path to take may stem in part from competing directional cues linked to the room. In addition to facing along the route, there is evidence that ants develop magnetically directed home and food vectors dependent upon path integration. A second experiment asked whether ants can use magnetic information contextually. In contrast to honeybees given a similar task, ants failed this test. Overall, we conclude that magnetic directional cues can be sufficient for route learning.

Title	Dataset for paper "Larger GPU-accelerated brain simulations with procedural connectivity"
Description	Dataset for paper published in Nat Comput Sci Feb 2021Dataset contains raw spiking data from full-scale multi-area model simulation run using GeNN 4.3.3. Each tar.gz archive contains the configuration files for each simulation and, in the recording directory, binary numpy files contains the spike trains from each population.Archives with filenames starting with 82d3c0816b0ad1c07ea27e61eb981f7a contain spike data from three 10.5 second "ground state" simulations of the model's "ground state" (chi=1.0)Archives with filenames starting with b03fdaa1fd47a0e4a10483bc3901f1e5 contain spike data from three 100.5 second "ground state" simulations of the model's "resting state" (chi=1.9)Abstract"Simulations are an important tool for investigating brain function but large models are needed to faithfully reproduce the statistics and dynamics of brain activity.Simulating large spiking neural network models has, until now, needed so much memory for storing synaptic connections that it required high performance computer systems. Here, we present an alternative simulation method we call `procedural connectivity' where connectivity and synaptic weights are generated `on the fly' instead of stored and retrieved from memory. This method is particularly well-suited for use on Graphical Processing Units (GPUs) - which are a common fixture in many workstations. Extending our GeNN software with procedural connectivity and a second technical innovation for GPU code generation, we can simulate a recent model of the Macaque visual cortex with 4.136 neurons and 24.29 synapses on a single GPU - a significant step forward in making large-scale brain modelling accessible to more researchers."FundingBrains on Board grant number EP/P006094/1

SNNs are simulated using GeNN with extensions to efficiently support convolutional connectivity and batching. We evaluate converted SNNs on CIFAR-10 and ImageNet classification tasks and compare the performance to both the original ANNs and other SNN simulators. We find that performing inference using a VGG-16 model, trained on the CIFAR-10 dataset, is 2.5x faster than BindsNet and, when using a ResNet-20 model trained on CIFAR-10 with FewSpike ANN to SNN conversion, mlGeNN is only a little over 2x slower than TensorFlow."FundingBrains on Board grant number EP/P006094/1ActiveAI grant number EP/S030964/1Unlocking spiking neural networks for machine learning research grant number EP/V052241/1European Union's Horizon 2020 research and innovation program under Grant Agreement 945539

Results and Impact	This one-day event aimed to sensitize engineers and researchers working in the industry to the potential for innovation coming from neuroscience in general and from the Human Brain Project (HBP) in particular. It was intended to stimulate a technically-inclined audience and make them aware of the many unique and untapped possibilities to apply neuroscientific knowledge to their own field. James Knight was invited to give a talk on Brains-on-board and insect-inspired robotics in general. As well as generally engaging with the business community, discussions after this event led to an invite for representatives of the project to the HBP Innovation Forum and Exhibition in London.
