Neural criticality from effective latent variables
Mia C. Morrell, Ilya Nemenman, Audrey J. Sederberg
Observations of power laws in neural activity data have raised the intriguing notion that brains may operate in a critical state. One example of this critical state is "avalanche c…

Latent dynamical variables produce signatures of spatiotemporal criticality in large biological systems
Mia C. Morrell, Audrey J. Sederberg, Ilya Nemenman
Understanding the activity of large populations of neurons is difficult due to the combinatorial complexity of possible cell-cell interactions. To reduce the complexity, coarse-gra…

Randomly connected networks generate emergent selectivity and predict decoding properties of large populations of neurons
Audrey J. Sederberg, Ilya Nemenman
Advances in neural recording methods enable sampling from populations of thousands of neurons during the performance of behavioral tasks, raising the question of how recorded activ…
