The trained digital twin model lets you feed in any stimulus you're curious about and generate your own neural responses.
Feed in your own stimulus and see what the model predicts ๐

We combined chronic two-photon imaging of retinal ganglion cell (RGC) axonal boutons in the mouse superior colliculus (SC) with deep dynamic models that predict neural responses to parametric light stimuli and natural movies.

- using GMMs we show that retinal inputs are functionally distinct & laminar-organized
- functional diversity of retinal output matches with SC retinal input (using a VAE-approach and RGC reference data)
- digital twin model generalizes across stimuli, which it wasn't trained on

Excited to present at #NeurIPS this week on my work building biophysical models of the outer retina! If youโre around come check it out or just say hi, poster #2015, Friday 11-2๐
You can find the full paper here: openreview.net/forum?id=ayj...
In brief๐งต:
Excited to share that our paper got accepted @NeurIPS! ๐
We introduce TRACE, a new contrastive learning method for visualizing multi-trial neural time-series data.
๐ 2D visualizations revealing biological patterns
๐ Automatic artifact detection
๐ฌ Works for calcium imaging & electrophysiology data
The poster will be presented in Exhibit Hall C,D,E #2014 on Wednesday, 3 Dec 4:30 p.m. PST โ 7:30 p.m. PST
