Measuring What We Mean: Neural Properties and the Tools That Stand In for Them

Daniele Marinazzo (Ghent University) will discuss the conceptual tension between the neural properties we aim to characterize and the statistical or mathematical tools we use as proxies for them, highlighting how generative modeling and forward simulation can help clarify which claims about neural mechanisms our measurements can actually support.
