| Simulation Project Title |
Modeling LFP - spikes relationship under visual stimulation. |
| Type of model |
Don't know yet |
| Description |
I'm interested in modeling the relationship between LFPs and spikes in the primary visual
cortex of anaesthesized Macaque in response to a "natural" movie stimulus.Questions to be
considered include:Can the processing of some stimulus feature (flow fields, contrast,
luminance) be attributed to a particular neural signal (spike or LFP)? How do LFPs complement
spikes in encoding stimulus features? |
| Why complementary |
In my current project we try to estimate (model free) the mutual information between
different frequency components of LFP and stimulus without taking into account which features
of the stimulus are creating the LFP response but rather looking at the variability of this
LFP response when the stimulus is repeated. A complementary task would be to establish a
link(model) between LFPs and spikes in terms of information sharing/transferring with respect
to the stimulus. |
