A data and task-constrained mechanistic model of the mouse outer retina shows robustness to contrast variations

NeurIPS 2025poster

Visual processing starts in the outer retina where photoreceptors transform light into electrochemical signals. These signals are modulated by inhibition from horizontal cells and sent to the inner retina via excitatory bipolar cells. The outer retina is thought to play an important role in contrast…

Diffusion Tempering Improves Parameter Estimation with Probabilistic Integrators for Ordinary Differential Equations

ICML 2024poster

Ordinary differential equations (ODEs) are widely used to describe dynamical systems in science, but identifying parameters that explain experimental measurements is challenging. In particular, although ODEs are differentiable and would allow for gradient-based parameter optimization, the nonlinear…

Efficient identification of informative features in simulation-based inference

NeurIPS 2022accept

Simulation-based Bayesian inference (SBI) can be used to estimate the parameters of complex mechanistic models given observed model outputs without requiring access to explicit likelihood evaluations. A prime example for the application of SBI in neuroscience involves estimating the parameters gover…
