Research Interests

My current interests for 2006-7 are:-

(1) to unify ideas from probabilistic machine learning with the cross-level information flows that occur in the biological hierarchy. The test-case is to explain synaptic, dendritic and axonal learning as an cross-level density estimation scheme between the neuronal and the synaptic level.

(2) to develop simple algorithms that capture the cross-scale statistical structure of multivariate signals.

I know this requires some explanation. I need to completely revamp my web-presence, and I hope to do so soon. My old page, at the Salk Institute, is quite out-of-date, but contains some useful material. It is here.
