Opportunities for bioinformatics in the classification of behavior and psychiatric disorders.
A bioinformatics approach to behavioral neuroscience provides both unique opportunities and challenges for research on behavior. A major challenge has been to describe, define, and discriminate among abstract behavioral processes, in large part by distinguishing among the biological mechanisms of unique but not entirel...

Optimal experimental design for sampling voltage on dendritic trees in the low-SNR regime.
Due to the limitations of current voltage sensing techniques, optimal filtering of noisy, undersampled voltage signals on dendritic trees is a key problem in computational cellular neuroscience.
