Abstract
Calcium imaging has become a fundamental neural imaging technique, aiming to
recover the individual activity of hundreds of neurons in a cortical region.
Current methods (mostly matrix factorization) are aimed at detecting neurons in
the field-of-view and then inferring the corresponding time-traces. In this
paper, we reverse the modeling and instead aim to minimize the spatial
inference, while focusing on finding the set of temporal traces present in the
data. We reframe the problem in a dictionary learning setting, where the
dictionary contains the time-traces and the sparse coefficient are spatial
maps. We adapt dictionary learning to calcium imaging by introducing
constraints on the norms and correlations of the time-traces, and incorporating
a hierarchical spatial filtering model that correlates the time-trace usage
over the field-of-view. We demonstrate on synthetic and real data that our
solution has advantages regarding initialization, implicitly inferring number
of neurons and simultaneously detecting different neuronal types.
