  • I changed my mind about the derivation videos b/c I can and b/c I can just do it during the lecture it follows pretty well

Neural Signal Processing & Machine Learning

ELEC/BIOE 548 | ELEC 483

Fall 2022

Episode 4: Cellular Neuroanatomy Pt. 2

How does it work?

1

Introduction. Class & brains

2

Fundamental neurobiology. How do neurons fire? How/what do we record?

3

Modeling spike trains. First bit of analysis work and understanding firing properties of neurons.

5

Classification. Making machines learn. Which direction is a monkey trying to reach? Bayesian decoding.

4

Point processes. Continued modeling work of neurons.

6

Clustering/Mixture models. Making machines learn some more. Spike sorting.

Bi-weekly Schedule

7

Continuous decoding. Kalman filters. Machines continue to learn.

8

Spectral analysis? LFP interpretation in spectral domain. But also kinda in clustering.

Neuroscience!

  • Introduction to Neuroscience

    • Ch 1: The brain and behavior

    • Ch 2: Nerve cells and behavior

  • How are neural signals  generated?

    • Ch 7: Membrane potential - TODAY

    • Ch 9: Propagated Signaling: the action potential - Thurs

  • How do neurons communicate with each other? - Thurs

    • Ch 10: Overview of synaptic transmission

    • Ch12: Synaptic integration

Cellular Neuroanatomy Basics Review!

  • What are glial cells? What are something that they do?
  • Neurons! What are the basic anatomical parts?
  • What happens when you inject current into some frog leg tissue? What about the frog sciatic nerve?
  • Action potentials! When you inject current into a neuron and record the intracellular voltage, these show up.

But how? Why does this happen with a neuron?

Membrane potentials

How is the V_rest calculated?

Shay's attempt to teach fo'realz begins...😱
