Gaussian-process factor analysis
ID: gaussian-process-factor-analysis
A model combining a linear observation equation with Gaussian process priors over latent trajectories, allowing shared neural activity and temporal smoothness to be estimated together. Observation-noise assumptions and temporal kernels are substantive choices. The original 2009 demonstration used macaque motor recordings, not episodic-memory recordings.[ref]
