Master Thesis Spotlight // Imperial College

Evaluating Computational Brain Models as Dimensionality Reduction Methods for EEG.

A deep dive into computational neurodynamics and machine learning. Benchmarking mechanistic vs. data-driven models to compress neural signals with higher precision and interpretability. Supervised by Dr. Pedro Mediano and Dr. Gregory Scott.

Focus

Computational Neurodynamics & ML Systems

Findings

Hybrid models have the potential to combine the interpretability of mechanistic models with the performance of data-driven models.
