Methodology to analyse calcium fluorescence data

One of the great challenges in modern science is to understand the structure of the human brain. Neurologists want to work out the complete map of connections between neurons, it’s a wiring diagram and a structure known as the human connectome. If we predict the connection by the firing of the Calcium ion we can predict the connections between neurons using calcium fluorescence data. first, so we Are moving to analyses the “small” dataset involving a network of 100 neurons.  The process must go through deep learning. We initially processed several steps, first we include clipping maximum values to reduce noise and extending each series values to maximize contrast. These steps will help to recognize neurons visually but it will not improve performance Finally, the training datasets have semantic differences we must know the process like labeling technique etc. In some cases, we may improve performance by training one model per dataset. Here we analysis several methods that ca...

Introduction to Connectomics

We have been asked to write a literature review on network reconstruction algorithms that can be applied  Predicting Connections from Calcium Channel Imaging for our programming Challenge project. As we go through the research I feel Like updating this on the blog will help a lot for the students who are interested in this research. As this is the 1st post I will cover the introduction to our Problem. Connectomics is the production and study of connectomes (comprehensive maps of connections within an organism's nervous system, typically its brain or eye) . These structures are extremely complex.  In Order to study  Connectomics  we should first know some hot topics such as  Neural network and deep learning, Biological Neuron, Calcium Imaging Data analysis. As It's introduction, We will walk you through all the aspects of Connectomics with simple explanations. First we go through  Neural Networks and Deep Learning ...
