Given a time series of neural activity during a perceptual inference task, our framework finds (i) the neural representation of relevant latent variables, (ii) interactions between these variables that define the brain's internal model of the world, and (iii) message-functions specifying the inference algorithm.

However, current sensors and imaging approaches still face significant limitations in SNR and sampling frequency; therefore statistical denoising and interpolation methods remain critical for understanding single-trial spatiotemporal dendritic voltage dynamics.

However, these sequences of swim bouts belie a set of discrete and continuous internal states, latent variables that are not captured by standard point process models.

Permutations and matchings are core building blocks in a variety of latent variable models, as they allow us to align, canonicalize, and sort data.

In order to fully understand the neural activity of Caenorhabditis elegans, we need a rich, quantitative description of the behavioral outputs it gives rise to.

For example, nucleotides in a DNA sequence, children's names in a given state and year, and text documents are all commonly modeled with multinomial distributions.
