• Using the SVD to estimate receptive fields

  Spatio-temporal receptive fields can be hard to visualize. They can also be quite noisy. Thus, it’s desirable to find a low-dimensional approximation to the RF that is both easier to visualize and less noisy. The SVD is frequently used in neurophysiology for this purpose. Reading the Wikipedia page on the SVD, you might have trouble…
