EEG-based sentiment & brain-state tracking (CNEL × Sony × LB3 dataset)

Pipeline that turns brain-wave recordings (EEG) into a small set of hidden time-series ‘states’ using a state-space model (Hierarchical Linear Dynamical System, HLDS), then evaluates those states for prediction and separability.

Zebrafish voltage imaging: event detection & interpretation

Pipeline for 2D voltage imaging videos that flags ‘events’ (fast, localized changes) using statistical detectors inspired by radar signal processing, producing maps and summaries for downstream analysis.
