Abstract: I'll discuss two recent experiments, in which knowing a little bit about probability goes a long way in helping us to extract the meaning from experiments. The first involves changepoint detection in single-molecule studies of molecular motors. The second involves simultaneous activity measurements on intact mammalian retina.
