Targeted Discovery in Brain Data
Organizers:
This workshop will focus on the problem of inferring structure from neuroscience data, including the following specific themes:
- Algorithms to help collect and analyze data;
- Finding low-dimensional or sparse structure in data using techniques from machine learning;
- Algorithms for data fusion, i.e., how to combine and integrate data from different sources and scales;
- Algebraic topological methods for neuroscience data.
