Development of improved methods for decoding from LFP signals.

Summary

This was a collaboration with Gautam Agarwal. I first met Gautam at a Cosyne conference in Utah, where he was presenting Spatially distributed local fields in the hippocampus encode rat position. It's a privilege to have the data I collected used by Gautam for his work and in a course he teaches.
