Inpainting the Neural Picture: Inferring Unrecorded Brain Area Dynamics from Multi-Animal Datasets

Ji Xia, Yizi Zhang, Shuqi Wang +4

Characterizing interactions between brain areas is a fundamental goal of systems neuroscience. While such analyses are possible when areas are recorded simultaneously, it is rare t…
