Most discriminative stimuli for functional cell type clustering

ICLR 2024poster

Identifying cell types and understanding their functional properties is crucial for unraveling the mechanisms underlying perception and cognition. In the retina, functional types can be identified by carefully selected stimuli, but this requires expert domain knowledge and biases the procedure towar…

Retrospective for the Dynamic Sensorium Competition for predicting large-scale mouse primary visual cortex activity from videos

NeurIPS 2024poster

Understanding how biological visual systems process information is challenging because of the nonlinear relationship between visual input and neuronal responses. Artificial neural networks allow computational neuroscientists to create predictive models that connect biological and machine vision. Ma…

A flow-based latent state generative model of neural population responses to natural images

NeurIPS 2021spotlight

We present a joint deep neural system identification model for two major sources of neural variability: stimulus-driven and stimulus-conditioned fluctuations. To this end, we combine (1) state-of-the-art deep networks for stimulus-driven activity and (2) a flexible, normalizing flow-based generative…
