Description of scientific work:
  • Ovidiu Jurjut's work is oriented towards the analysis and visualization of high-dimensional data. Experimental techniques make it possible to record multiple signals from brains in a parallel fashion (Spikes, LFP, EEG). Such complex signals might carry a great deal of information and should be analyzed in a multi-dimensional framework to fully harness their richness. In this context, Ovidiu Jurjut is using clustering and projection techniques to reduce the dimensionality of the recorded data and represent it in more intuitive and easily understandable ways.
