Sequential Monte Carlo point-process estimation of kinematics from neural spiking activity for brain-machine interfaces.

29 Sep 2009 Many decoding algorithms for brain machine interfaces' (BMIs) estimate hand movement from binned spike rates, which do not fully exploit the resolution contained in spike timing and may exclude rich neural dynamics from the modeling. More recently, ... Read more...

Enhancing bilinear subspace learning by element rearrangement.

29 Sep 2009 The success of bilinear subspace learning heavily depends on reducing correlations among features along rows and columns of the data matrices. In this work, we study the problem of rearranging elements within a matrix in order to maximize these ... Read more...

On universality in human correspondence activity.

23 Sep 2009 The identification and modeling of patterns of human activity have important ramifications for applications ranging from predicting disease spread to optimizing resource allocation. Because of its relevance and availability, written correspondence ... Read more...
