For those attending #neurips this week and are staying for the workshops, come check out the excellent work of John Vastola and Zach Cohen (and me) in the NeurReps workshop on how latent neural manifolds relate to the statistics of neural population activity! Oral presentation @ 10:30am CST, and at the workshop posters.
John has more details in his Twitter thread: https://twitter.com/johnjvastola/status/1597957423074930690?s=20&t=yQ7Gw6hhkcLRM5vpxs6TzA
Hi everyone 👋 ! #introduction
I am an Associate Prof. at Harvard Medical School, and am interested in figuring out how the brain works 🧠 . In particular, how do its neural dynamics implement the probabilistic computations required for efficient behavior? We ask this question from the theoretical perspective 💻 , using tools from machine learning and physics, and collaborate with experimentalists 🐭 🙈 👤 to test the arising theories.
In the past I have worked a lot on decision-making - both perceptual and value-based - normative models for the speed-accuracy trade-off, and how this relates to decision confidence and attention. Currently, we are looking into probabilistic reasoning about more structured objects, like hierarchies, and at efficient navigation in light of uncertain sensory information.
Happy to be here!
