Circumstantial evidence and explanatory models for synapses in large-scale spike recordings
Ian H. Stevenson
Whether, when, and how causal interactions between neurons can be meaningfully studied from observations of neural activity alone are vital questions in neural data analysis. Here…
A Flexible Bayesian Clustering of Dynamic Subpopulations in Neural Spiking Activity
Ganchao Wei, Ian H. Stevenson, Xiaojing Wang
With advances in neural recording techniques, neuroscientists are now able to record the spiking activity of many hundreds of neurons simultaneously, and new statistical methods ar…
Dynamic modeling of spike count data with Conway-Maxwell Poisson variability
Ganchao Wei, Ian H. Stevenson
In many areas of the brain, neural spiking activity covaries with features of the external world, such as sensory stimuli or an animal's movement. Experimental findings suggest tha…
Tracking fast and slow changes in synaptic weights from simultaneously observed pre- and postsynaptic spiking
Ganchao Wei, Ian H. Stevenson
Synapses change on multiple timescales, ranging from milliseconds to minutes, due to a combination of both short- and long-term plasticity. Here we develop an extension of the comm…
Compact Two-Dimensional Magneto-Optical Trap for Ultracold Atom Setups
Aden Zhenhao Lam, Claire Warner, Niccolò Bigagli +4
We report on the design, implementation, and performance of a compact two-dimensional magneto-optical trap (2D MOT) for cesium. In a small-volume vacuum chamber, the setup uses ces…
Genetic fitting techniques for precision ultracold spectroscopy
Ian Stevenson, Jesús Pérez-Ríos
We present development of a genetic algorithm for fitting potential energy curves of diatomic molecules to experimental data. Our approach does not involve any functional form for…
