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.
