Contents
Introduction
Jul 30 - Aug 4
Lecturers: Gunnar Blohm, Paul Schrater, Konrad Kording
Day 1 - Overview of modeling in neuroscience
CoSMo 2018 organizational slides
Konrad's and Gunnar's model pitches
Paul's multiple learning pitch
Paul's optimal forgetting pitch
Paul's deep learning bottleneck pitch
Paul's minimum intervention principle pitch
Afternoon tutorial 1: plotting neural data
Here is the file [Stevenson Data Set]
As part of the tuning curve exercise we will understand it.
Tutorial is available here
Afternoon tutorial 2: gain modulation for reference frame transformations
The goal of this tutorial is to understand how gain modulation can be used for reference frame transformations and how gain modulation can emerge from training a simple artificial neural network carrying out reference frame transformations.
There are 2 different approaches to solving this:
- exact determination of read-out weights from eye-position gain-modulated neurons as in this seminal paper. Here the solution can be found by computing the least-square optimal set of weights mapping the gain-modulated neurons (population code) to head-centered output neuron(s). For this to work, population code neurons need to be of the exponential function family.
- training a neural network to perform reference frame transformations using this code. For this you can plot each individual neuron's receptive field for different eye positions and analyze how the receptive field changes with eye position in each network layer.

Group Projects
Jul 30 - Aug 11
Instructions: Every group will have a 30min slot (20min presentation, 10min questions). The research question, hypotheses and rationale for the choice of the approach should be clearly presented. Models, simulations, results, discussion etc should be detailed enough for everyone to follow.
Best group gets a free 10min talk at Advances in Motor Control and Motor Learning 2018 (SfN satellite workshop)!!! (confirmed by John Krakauer & Maurice Smith)
The winner has to apply too and specify you are CoSMo 2018 project winner...
PROJECT PRESENTATIONS (Sat, Aug 11)
Presentations will take place 1-6pm in Bruininks Hall Room 512B
