Speaker bio(s)

Kording will present a sequence of analyses of neural tuning properties where he asks how a set of dimensions affect tuning. In area V4, Kording and his colleagues analyzed tuning to natural and artificial stimuli asking how similar those tunings are. He finds that they are hugely complex and are vastly different between artificial and natural conditions. In basal ganglia and M1 they tried to estimate the dimensionality of tuning and find that the dimensionality is very high. Kording will review theoretical insights of why such complex tuning may be a very efficient strategy for the brain.
