There is now a CONTENT FREEZE for Mercury while we switch to a new platform. It began on Friday, March 10 at 6pm and will end on Wednesday, March 15 at noon. No new content can be created during this time, but all material in the system as of the beginning of the freeze will be migrated to the new platform, including users and groups. Functionally the new site is identical to the old one. webteam@gatech.edu

ABSTRACT
Advances in imaging, chemistry, and optics have produced new techniques that provide unprecedented ability to interrogate the brain’s structure and function. These advances have produced a neural data deluge: raw data is being generated at rates that most labs are not equipped to reconstruct and segment, let alone extract biological insights from. The primary aim of my research is to leverage simultaneous advances in machine learning and data science to tackle this deluge of data, and eventually make sense of cellular-resolution datasets at the scale of entire brains. In this talk, I will describe my efforts in developing new approaches for analyzing large-scale neural recordings, including examples from methods that use combinations of electrons, X-rays, and light to interrogate the structure and function of the brain at the nano and mesoscale.
