Research Description
The work in our lab (Center for Theoretical Neuroscience) seeks to define the connection between physical mechanisms present in real neural tissue and the computational functions that these mechanisms embody. We currently have a particular interest in how three-dimensional neural structures hold information, the mechanisms and neural algorithms supporting reward-dependent learning and action choice, and news forms of neuroimaging.
