Toward NeuroDM: Where Computational Neuroscience Meets Data Mining
share
At the intersection of computational neuroscience (CN) and data mining (DM), we advocate a holistic view toward their rich connections. On the one hand, fundamental concepts in neuroscience such as saliency, memory, and emotion can find novel applications in data mining. On the other hand, multimodal imaging has opened the door for data mining to facilitate the extraction of important cognitive and behavioral information from multimodal neural data. By NeuroDM, we advocate for more collaboration between CN and DM to expedite the advances in two well-established fields. The analogy between the over-parameterization of biological and artificial neural networks might suggest a unifying perspective of advancing both fields.
