Directed information structure

The good news is that we recently received a notice of acceptance of an abstract we submitted to CNS*2009 (July 18-23) in collaboration with John-Dylan Haynes and Jakob Heinzle from the Bernstein Centre for Computational Neuroscience (BCCN) in Berlin.

Titled "Directed information structure in inter-regional cortical interactions in a visuomotor tracking task", it deals with a method for identifying directed information structure between distinct regions (of variables) in a large multi-variate set. The method identifies an interesting hierarchical structure for the given visuomotor task.

My supervisor will be at CNS to present the poster, and the abstract will be included in a supplement to BMC Neuroscience soon. We're currently working on a more complete journal paper reporting on this experiment.

CNS*2009 should be a good meeting, particularly the Methods of Information Theory in Computational Neuroscience workshop. Wish I was going!
