Connectionists: New paper: Higher-order interactions characterized in cortical activities

[Yu Shan]

Dear all,

We would like to introduce our new paper entitled “Higher-order
interactions characterized in cortical activities”, which was recently
published in the Journal of Neuroscience.

In this paper, we demonstrated that the interaction structure in
neuronal activities, including the higher-order interactions, is much
simpler than preciously thought. By exploiting such a structure, we
showed that a very simple method could be used to predict large scale
population activities with surprisingly high accuracy.

The paper can be found at the website of the Journal of Neuroscience:
