Estimating the parameters of an integrate and fire neuron from random
data
<br>
<br>

I will discuss a variant of the integrate-and-fire model for analyzing
neural responses to temporal white noise.  The particular model
involved (the "Linear-LIF" model) consists of a linear filter followed
by a leaky integrate-and-fire spike generator.  I will focus on some
recent work on estimating the parameters of this model in the presence
of noise, which involves several interesting statistical and
computational problems.  See my <a
href="http://www.cns.nyu.edu/~pillow/publications.html">publications</a>
page for some background work.
