Characterizing neural phase-space trajectories via Principal Louvain Clustering
Bibliographic record
Abstract
Abstract Background With the growing size and richness of neuroscience datasets in terms of dimension, volume, and resolution, identifying spatiotemporal patterns in those datasets is increasingly important. Multivariate dimension-reduction methods are particularly adept at addressing these challenges. New Method In this paper, we propose a novel method, which we refer to as Principal Louvain Clustering (PLC), to identify clusters in a low-dimensional data subspace, based on time-varying trajectories of spectral dynamics across multisite local field potential (LFP) recordings in awake behaving mice. Data were recorded from prefrontal cortex, hippocampus, and parietal cortex in eleven mice while they explored novel and familiar environments. Results PLC-identified subspaces and clusters showed high consistency across animals, and were modulated by the animals’ ongoing behavior. Conclusions PLC adds to an important growing literature on methods for characterizing dynamics in high-dimensional datasets, using a smaller number of parameters. The method is also applicable to other kinds of datasets, such as EEG or MEG.

Full frame machine prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. The Gemma side is a direct model label for every work in the frame, read from the title-only record. The Codex side is a classifier learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and calibrated to design-weighted sample rates; fields without enough sample support carry no Codex call. Candidate is the union of the two sides; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one source (direct Gemma or distilled Codex), not a consensus.
