DESCRIPTION:Structured neural variability and its roles in neural computati
 on\n\nCristina Savin\, New York University\n	Tuesday March 30\, 12-1pm\n	Zoo
 m Link: https:/mcgill.zoom.us/j/91589192037\n\nAbstract: Across brain regi
 ons and species\, one key feature of neural activity is that responses are
  highly variable. Computationally\, it has been argued one of the main cha
 llenges of brain information processing is compensating for its internal n
 oise. However\, this interpretation is challenged by experimental data: in
  many contexts the brain seems to actively put itself in a dynamic regime 
 where responses are highly variable\, which suggests that there may be com
 putational advantages to having a seemingly ‘noisy’ brain. In this talk I 
 will review a combination of recent theory and experimental data analysis 
 demonstrating how intrinsic noise can be recruited for useful computationa
 l goals\, in particular for routing information across brain regions and r
 eward dependent learning.\n
