Research Overview:

Consisting of a large number of intricately connected neurons, the brain is one of the most sophisticated dynamical systems in nature. Understanding how the brain computes is at the forefront of current scientific research. Research in our group focuses on theoretical analysis of the biophysical properties of neural networks; this includes their applications to computational models of neurobiological functions such as song generation and recognition in songbirds, motor control in basal ganglia, and feature map formation in visual cortex. The theoretical modeling is done in close collaboration with experimental groups.
