Title:  Can Data Mining help Discover the `Neural Code'?
 
Abstract:
Data Mining involves "blind" discovery of patterns in data.  We describe
methods to discover patterns in sequential data and demonstrate their use to
analyze multi-neuronal spike trains.  Discovering the structure in these
spike trains can help discover the functional connectivity in the dynamical
system that produced it.  I conclude the talk with a discussion of the
question posed in the title 
 
Bio: 
Dr. K.P. Unnikrishnan received the PhD degree in Physics (biophysics) from
Syracuse.  University, Syracuse, New York, in 1987.  He is currently a staff
research scientist at the General Motors R&D Center, Warren, Michigan.
Before joining GM, he was a postdoctoral member of the technical staff at
AT&T Bell Laboratories, Murray Hill, New Jersey.  He has also been an
adjunct assistant professor at the University of Michigan, Ann Arbor, a
visiting associate at the California Institute of Technology (Caltech),
Pasadena, and a visiting scientist at the Indian Institute of Science, 
Bangalore. His research interests concern neural computation in sensory
systems, correlation-based algorithms for learning and adaptation, dynamical
neural networks, and temporal data mining and most recently, discovering the
neural code.
