Abstract:

We develop a model for high dimensional signals driven by sources whose properties evolve over epochs in experiments. We propose the evolutionary state space model(E-SSM) where signals are mixtures of sources having oscillatory activity at defined frequency bands. One unique feature in E-SSM is that sources are parametrized as second order autoregressive AR(2) processes. To account for non-stationarity, the AR(2) parameters are allowed to vary over epochs. In contrast to independent component analysis, our method captures the temporal structure. Compared to data-adaptive strategies such as filtering, E-SSM easily accommodates non-stationarity. To estimate our model, we use Kalman smoother, maximum likelihood and blocked resampling approaches. The E-SSM is applied to a multi-epoch LFP signals from an olfactory encoding task. Our method captures the evolution of power of different sources across encoding phases. The E-SSM model also identifies clusters of tetrodes that behave similarly.
