Overview
We have a broad interest in higher-level brain functions, their relation to lower-level computations, and the role of context.
Research Directions
- Study of relation between knowledge represented in neural networks and knowledge in humans;
- uncertainty and predictive processes: what are the principles that organize the brain’s responses to uncertainty, and how these support predictive processes;
- neurobiology of language: organization and interactions between brain systems that support language comprehension.
Members
