Description
Thursday, February 3, 2011
Jonathan Pillow (Assistant Professor, UT Austin) talks about using assumption-free statistics to to extract structure from high dimensional data. The group discusses levels of analysis in computational modeling, and considers the merits of using functional behavior of neurons ("the what") in the absence of mechanism ("the how") as the starting point when modeling complex neural systems.
Duration: 39 minutes
Discussants:(in alphabetical order)
Salma Quraishi (Res. Asst Prof, UTSA)
Fidel Santamaria (Asst Prof, UTSA)
Todd Troyer (Asst Prof, UTSA)
Charles Wilson (Prof UTSA)
