Overview
My research focuses on the application of machine learning methods to the analysis of brain data and behavior. In particular, we are interested in the process by which organisms like songbirds learn complex motor skills without external reinforcement, the way simple information processing principles can explain the organization of early sensory systems, and designing new computational methods that allow us to analyze neural data and change experiments in real time.
