Modeling Retinal Ganglion Cells with Neural Differential Equations
This work explores Liquid Time-Constant Networks (LTCs) and Closed-form Continuous-time Networks (CfCs) for modeling retinal ganglion cell activity in tiger salamanders across three datasets. Compared to a convolutional baseline and an LSTM, both architectures achieved lower MAE, faster convergence, smaller model sizes, and favorable query times, though with slightly lower Pearson correlation. Their efficiency and adaptability make them well suited for scenarios with limited data and frequent retraining, such as edge deployments in vision prosthetics.

How does the inner retinal network shape the ganglion cells receptive field : a computational study
We consider a model of basic inner retinal connectivity where bipolar and amacrine cells interconnect, and both cell types project onto ganglion cells, modulating their response output to the brain visual areas. We deriv…
Differential response of the retinal neural code with respect to the sparseness of natural images
Natural images follow statistics inherited by the structure of our physical (visual) environment. In particular, a prominent facet of this structure is that images can be described by a relatively sparse number of featur…
Do retinal ganglion cells project natural scenes to their principal subspace and whiten them?
Several theories of early sensory processing suggest that it whitens sensory stimuli. Here, we test three key predictions of the whitening theory using recordings from 152 ganglion cells in salamander retina responding t…
Recognizing retinal ganglion cells in the dark
Many neural circuits are composed of numerous distinct cell types that perform different operations on their inputs, and send their outputs to distinct targets. Therefore, a key step in understanding neural systems is t…
