Topic: convolutional autoencoder

Exploring novel approaches to auditory rehabilitation, we aim to demonstrate, in mice, the efficiency of an optogenetic cortical implant. Several studies have shown that mice can use patterned optogenetic stimulations of the sensory cortex to drive their behaviour. It was however never tested if it is possible to provide a detailed representation of sensory inputs through such stimulation patterns. To explore this key question for cortical implant devices, we developed a novel sensory encoding model based on a convolutional autoencoder, which is able to temporally compress and denoise 500ms so
