Zooming in on the brain via data science

Abstract

Zhaofei Yu, a young principal investigator (PI), and Shanshan Jia, a PhD student, explain the importance of data science in their research. They have developed a method to extract information from high-dimensional data based on wavelet decompositions using simulated and experimental neuroscience data. This method is not only beneficial for neuroscientists, but it might also be helpful to anyone who deals with high-dimensional data.
