Decoding Images from Multi-Region, High Resolution, Electrode Recordings In the Mouse Visual System

Abstract

1AbstractWe hypothesize that deep networks are superior to linear decoders at recovering visual stimuli from neural activity. Using high-resolution, multielectrode Neuropixels recordings, we verify this is the case for a simple feed-forward deep neural network having just 7 layers. These results suggest that these feed-forward neural networks and perhaps more complex deep architectures will give superior performance in a visual brain-machine interface.
