Abstract:
How can we describe and model spontaneous behavior, i.e., activity that is not explicitly driven by sensory inputs? In this talk, I will present recent approaches to model the temporal organization of self-initiated actions across a range of model organisms. The resulting behavioral structure suggests the existence of coordinated large-scale neural dynamics, in which brain activity hops between successive, long-lasting neural states. I will discuss methods for extracting these dynamics, and how they can help uncover the principles governing the temporal organization of both behavior and neural activity.
