Optimal energy-efficient coding in sensory neurons
Optimal energy-efficient coding in sensory neurons
Evolutionary pressure suggests that the spike-based code in the sensory nervous system should satisfy two opposing constraints: 1) minimize signal distortion in the encoding process (i.e., maintain fidelity) by keeping the average spike rate as high as possible, and 2) minimize the metabolic load on the neuron by keeping the average spike rate as low...

Pattern Recognition for Small-Sample Genomic Data
Pattern Recognition for Small-Sample Genomic Data
Co-sponsored by: Ernest Njouondo Modern biomedical applications based on genomic and proteomic expression profiles often produce large amounts of data characterized by a very large number of measurements made on a much smaller number of sample points. This introduces difficult challenges in the application of classification methods to obtain accurate predictive models. In this talk, we discuss... Read more
