Neuroimaging studies produce gigabytes of spatio-temporal data for a small number of participants and stimuli. Rarely do researchers attempt to model and examine how individual participants vary from each other -- a question that should be…

A key goal of unsupervised learning is to go beyond density estimation and sample generation to reveal the structure inherent within observed data. Such structure can be expressed in the pattern of interactions between explanatory latent…
