Neuroscience Study

We're going to finish up today's lecture with a discussion of reconstruction. I think we all share the dream that one day we might be able to record brain activity, during our sleep, and in the morning play back our dreams. So while the dream state is still not well understood, how close are we from being able to reconstruct even awake sensory experience from neural activity. We can apply the me..

Hi, we're back and launching into population coding. because in general, many neurons participate in the making of our decisions. And so we'll now consider some decoding algorithms that allow for the influences of many neurons in interpreting the stimulus. We're going to start with a simple and elegant example, the cricket cercal system. Crickets are very sensitive to air movements, and these si..

Hello, and welcome back to Computational Neuroscience. This is week three, we'll be discussing decoding. How well can we learn what the stimulus is by looking at neural responses? We'll be covering a few different approaches, starting with some very simple cases in which one has to decide between one of two choices. Given the output of a single neuron and then to the case where one has a range o..
