What: Data Science, Machine Learning, and Signal Processing
These involve the underlying mathematical analysis, design of statistical models, and software implementation of data and signal processing (filtering and neural networks) as well as optimization routines.

Why: To extract actionable information from complex data, especially to understand and interface with the brain

Research focus: finding patterns in neural time series through convolutional sparse analysis.

Goal: to discover physiologically meaningful waveforms in multi-day continuous epileptic electrocorticographic (ECoG) recordings that can be used to build interpretable features for seizure prediction.

Methods: interpretable machine learning, clustering and sparse coding for time series, supervised learning for neural data
