On February 10, 2022 we welcomed Dan Butts, to talk about studying sensory system function by statistical modeling of neuron populations in the awake state during natural or near-natural sensory stimulation. We discuss the use of machine learning tools for data analysis and the interaction between theories of natural perception and of deep neural networks

Dr. Butts is Associate Professor in the Department of Biology, University of Maryland College Park.
