Abstract
It would be only appropriate to thank my advisor Dr. Jose ́ Carlos Santos Carvalho Pŕıncipe first for his guidance and lessons not only for research but for life in general. A lot of people helped me get through my journey of graduate school, and perhaps my attempt to properly thank them all will fail miserably, but I have to try. Dr. Thomas B. DeMarse helped me enormously especially by letting me perform experiments, and he has been emotionally supporting my research as well. I owe my deepest gratitude to Dr. Murali Rao for bringing mathematical rigor to my clumsy ideas. My committee members Dr. Arunava Banerjee, Dr. Bruce Wheeler and Dr. Justin Sanchez supported me and kept me motivated. Dr. John Harris’s kind support allowed me to make friends and connections around the world. Dr. Purvis Bedenbaugh brought me a special Christmas gift of auditory spiking data in 2009. I am indebted to many of my colleagues; without their support this dissertation would not have been possible. António Rafael da Costa Paiva has been a great friend and colleague for developing spike train based signal processing algorithms. Jianwu Xu and Weifeng Liu gave me great intuitions for reproducing kernel Hilbert spaces. Dongming Xu enlightened me on dynamical systems. Brain storming with Karl Dockendorf was always a pleasure. I learned so much from the discussions with Steven Van Vaerenbergh and Luis Sanchez. Among all the most fruitful collaboration was with Sohan Seth. He has been a great friend, and brought joy to my work. I greatly appreciate all the support my friends gave me in a number of ways. I only mention a few of them here: Pingping Zhu the operator operator, Jason Winters
