Channel Identification Machines for Multidimensional Receptive Fields

We present algorithms for identifying multidimensional receptive fields directly from spike trains produced by biophysically-grounded neuron models. We demonstrate that only the projection of a receptive field onto the input stimulus space may be perfectly identified and derive conditions under whic...

Description
Summary:We present algorithms for identifying multidimensional receptive fields directly from spike trains produced by biophysically-grounded neuron models. We demonstrate that only the projection of a receptive field onto the input stimulus space may be perfectly identified and derive conditions under which this identification is possible.<br/>We also provide detailed examples of identification of neural circuits incorporating spatiotemporal and spectrotemporal receptive fields.
