Abstract

Achieving state-of-the-art performance with deep neural population dynamics models requires extensive hyperparameter tuning for each dataset. AutoLFADS is a model-tuning framework that automatically produces high-performing autoencoding models on data from a variety of brain areas and tasks, without behavioral or task information. We demonstrate its broad applicability on several rhesus macaque datasets: from motor cortex during free-paced reaching, somatosensory cortex during reaching with perturbations, and dorsomedial frontal cortex during a cognitive timing task.
