From deep learning to mechanistic understanding in neuroscience: the structure of retinal prediction

NeurIPS 2019poster

Recently, deep feedforward neural networks have achieved considerable success in modeling biological sensory processing, in terms of reproducing the input-output map of sensory neurons. However, such models raise profound questions about the very nature of explanation in neuroscience. Are we simply…

Deep Learning Models of the Retinal Response to Natural Scenes

NeurIPS 2016poster

A central challenge in sensory neuroscience is to understand neural computations and circuit mechanisms that underlie the encoding of ethologically relevant, natural stimuli. In multilayered neural circuits, nonlinear processes such as synaptic transmission and spiking dynamics present a significant…
