MindTalk: Learnable neural latent representations (Prof. Dr. Mackenzie Mathis, 07.11.2022, 16:00-17:30)
Abstract Mapping behavioral actions to neural activity is a fundamental goal of neuroscience. As our ability to record large neural and behavioral data increases, there is growing interest in modeling neural dynamics during adaptive behaviors to probe neural representations. In particular, neural latent embeddings can reveal underlying correlates of behavior, yet, we lack non-linear techniques [...]
