UNIVERSITY OF HERTFORDSHIRE COMPUTER SCIENCE RESEARCH COLLOQUIUM presents "Computational Tools for Neural Data Analysis" Dr. Shabnam Kadir (Imperial College London) 17 May 2017 (Wednesday) 1 pm - 2 pm Hatfield, College Lane Campus Seminar Room B404 Everyone is Welcome to Attend Refreshments will be available Abstract: I shall discuss new mathematical methods, algorithms and software designed for the analysis of neural data. In particular, I shall present algorithms and software I have developed for the problem of `spike sorting' for electrophysiological recordings made with a new generation of large dense probes which are capable of recording from hundreds to thousands of neurons simultaneously in vivo. In the second part of my talk, I shall discuss how novel methods topological data analysis can be applied to neural data. --------------------------------------------------- Hertfordshire Computer Science Research Colloquium http://cs-colloq.stca.herts.ac.uk
