about the group
The Sensory Information Processing and Communication group is part of the Wireless Foundations Center in the Department of Electrical Engineering and Computer Sciences at the University of California, Berkeley. The group is directed by Michael Gastpar.
news
We have a new schedule for group meetings in Spring 2008. We will meet in 258 Cory Hall at 10 AM on Fridays:
  • 2/8 -- Galen on the sparsity and partial support recovery
  • 2/15 -- Anand on adversarial multiantenna models
  • 2/22 -- Jiening on the her master's work
  • 2/29 -- Possibly no meeting.
  • 3/7 -- Bobak
  • 3/14 -- Krish
In February 2007, we co-organized a workshop on Emerging information-theoretic measures and methods in neuroscience
We have some group photos.
