Data Assimilation in Medical Models and Digital Twins One of the growing areas of interest in the context of biological and medical models is the question of how to personalize a model to a target organism or patient in order to improve model predictions. This question is inherently tied to data assimilation (DA): the process …
NPIs, vaccination, and collective action under social norms Social dynamics are an integral part of the spread of disease affecting contact rates as well as the adoption of pharmaceutical and non-pharmaceutical interventions (NPIs). This talk will present behavioural-epidemiological models that feature tipping-point dynamics for the uptake of vaccines or adoption of NPIs that combine the risk …
Discovering dynamical patterns of activity from single-trial intracranial EEG recordings In this talk I will discuss a data-driven method that leverages time-delayed coordinates, diffusion maps, and dynamic mode decomposition, to identify neural features in large scale brain recordings that correlate with subject-reported perception. The method captures the dynamics of perception at multiple timescales and distinguishes …
