Scalable Approaches to New Large-Scale Neuroscience

Dr. Alyson “Allie” Fletcher, Assistant Professor of Electrical Engineering at UC Santa Cruz 

Venue:  AMD Commons C-6/7/8, 991 Stewart Dr., Sunnyvale, CA, 6:30pm – 8:15pm

Dr.  Fletcher  will  address two problems: learning the neural response in retinal ganglion cells, and the estimation of large neuronal networks from calcium imaging data. Utilizing a general computationally scalable framework for estimation of large dynamical structured nonlinear systems, the approach significantly improves over existing methods in both computational cost and performance. This methodology offers provable guarantees in consistency and convergence and is applicable across a wide variety of settings.
