Back to "meetings"...
The Unsupervised Decoding Club meets every other Monday from 10:00 - 11:00 in the unicog conference room on the second floor. The group meets to discuss machine learning, pattern classification, and decoding techniques, with a particular emphasis on their application to EEG / MEG data. The group is organized by Aaron Schurger (aaron.schurger@gmail.com). Each session has someone assigned to lead the discussion. This does not have to be a formal presentation - typically a few slides and/or the white board will be adequate.
The list of topics + discussion leaders is here.
The schedule for Fall 2009 is below.
- 5 October: initial meeting to discuss objectives and select a list of topics to cover.
- 19 October: Applying decoding methods to MEG data: how is it different from decoding fMRI data, and what do you need to be aware of in order to do it effectively. (Lauri Parkkonen)
- 16 November: The Support Vector Machine (SVM), Relevance Vector Machine (RVM), and Support Vector Regression (SVR). (Bertrand Thirion)
- 30 November: Derivation of spatial filters and their application in decoding. (Antoine Souloumiac)
