[Forum SIS] Seminario MULAS (RGS & Matematica Applicata)

[Giacomo Aletti]

Con preghiera di diffusione tra tutti i possibili interessati,
scusandomi per invii multipli.
Cordialmente,
Giacomo Aletti

--------------

Nell'ambito dei Reading Group Seminars e del Seminario di Matematica
Applicata, il giorno lunedì 17 Novembre 2014, alle ore 14.30,
nell'Aula C del Dipartimento di Matematica dell'Universita' degli
Studi di Milano, Via C. Saldini, 50, Milano,

"Spike count and spike time coding of flashed images in macaque
primary visual cortex"
Marcello MULAS,
Neuroscientific System Theory, Technische Universität München, Germany

Abstract: http://goo.gl/VCJ3dt

Short intro to the talk
How the brain represents stimuli is still a matter of debate. It is
unclear how important is the precise time of spikes in order to encode
information. This study suggests that taking into account the
interaction between neurons might undermine conclusions based on
estimates of average information in single neurons.

Keywords
V1, neural coding, information time course, synergy, redundancy,
information theory

=================

Reading Group Seminars: The Reading Group Seminars (RGS) are organized
within an open community of researchers interested in applying up to
date mathematical modeling and data analysis approaches to the study
of biological systems. The RGS take place at the Math. Department in
Milan (via Saldini). Initiatives and updates are published on the
website: http://rgs.mat.unimi.it/.
