  • Top-down neuromodulation and bottom-up network computation

    This project studies how neuromodulators affect the activity of single brain cells and networks of those, in order to understand how perception is performed by networks of brain cells, and how this is influenced by these neuromodulators.

  • Understanding the predictive brain in the natural world

    Our brain makes predictions about the future based on what it knows. However, what the brain actually predicts has remained largely unclear. This requires examining prediction in the real world, which is much more complex than typical lab experiments
