Cross-Spectral Factor Analysis
The purpose of this resource is a computational framework of a machine learning technique to analyze multi-region electrophysiological recordings and learn electrical connectome networks that are related to outcomes of interest (e.g., mouse model of depression). The learned networks are visualizable and explainable.

Model Sharing Strategies - One Day Mini-Workshop
Background:
Verifiability and reproducibility of scientific results and the ability to share models are key to collaborative scientific work. However, the typical model description published in peer-reviewed literature is not sufficient for model duplication. When it is, reproducing models is extremely labor intensive. Existing model frameworks are generally not designed to support interoperability or model sharing.

Reverse Diauxie Phenotype in Pseudomonas aeruginosa Biofilm Revealed by Exometabolomics and Label-Free Proteomics.
Microorganisms enhance fitness by prioritizing catabolism of available carbon sources using a process known as carbon catabolite repression (CCR). Planktonically grown Pseudomonas aeruginosa is known to prioritize the consumption of organic acids including lactic acid over catabolism of glucose using a CCR strategy termed “reverse diauxie.” P. aeruginosa is an opportunistic pathogen with well-documented biofilm phenotypes that are distinct from its planktonic phenotypes.
