Attendance: Participants welcome at individual sessions
This course will cover several methods that are useful for analyzing neural data including conventional statistics, mutual information, point process models and decoding analyses. The emphasis will be on explaining the basic mathematical intuitions behind these methods, and giving practical hands-on experience for how these methods can be applied to real data. The class will be divided into lectures that will explain different methods and into laboratory classes where students can analyze real data. Students are welcome to attend any lecture/lab sessions that they find useful. The examples used will focus on neural spiking activity but we will also discuss other types of signals including MEG signals, and local field potentials. Some familiarity with neuroscience and basic statistics will be useful. Please signup for the class here: http://tinyurl.com/k5cec6f
