Title: Building Nervous Systems from the Bottom Up
Abstract:
The problem of estimating parameters and states in a model of physical processes from sparse observed time series is a statistical physics question which we will develop and illustrate. We will discuss how we used this framework to create and explore models for individual neurons in the nucleus HVC of the avian song system. The method is quite general, and the lessons learned in the application have broad optimistic implications for other questions of this form.
