Along with these improvements, analyses of neural information processing are moving from single neuron to population-level analyses. One promising approach for understanding information processing across large populations of neurons is to use methods for dimensionality reduction; such approaches aim to find low-dimensional structure in the joint activity of many neurons over time. In this talk, I will describe my lab\u0026#39;s efforts to learn low-dimensional structure present in large-scale neural recordings, both from electrophysiology recordings in motor cortex and from two-photon calcium movies in primary visual cortex. Our findings suggest that dimensionality reduction techniques can be used to pull out structure from neural activity to solve a range of decoding and classification problems.\u003C\/p\u003E\r\n","summary":null,"format":"limited_html"}],"field_subtitle":"","field_summary":"","field_summary_sentence":[{"value":"\u0022Finding Low-dimensional Structure in Large-scale Neural Recordings\u0022 -  Eva Dyer, Ph.D.  - Georgia Tech"}],"uid":"27349","created_gmt":"2018-01-29 14:54:20","changed_gmt":"2018-01-29 14:54:20","author":"Floyd Wood","boilerplate_text":"","field_publication":"","field_article_url":"","field_event_time":{"event_time_start":"2018-02-12T11:15:00-05:00","event_time_end":"2018-02-12T12:15:00-05:00","event_time_end_last":"2018-02-12T12:15:00-05:00","gmt_time_start":"2018-02-12 16:15:00","gmt_time_end":"2018-02-12 17:15:00","gmt_time_end_last":"2018-02-12 17:15:00","rrule":null,"timezone":"America\/New_York"},"extras":[],"related_links":[{"url":"http:\/\/dyerlab.gatech.edu\/","title":"Dyer lab"},{"url":"http:\/\/www.neuro.gatech.edu","title":"GT Neuro"}],"groups":[{"id":"1292","name":"Parker H.
