Research Experience
- Research areas cover computational ethology, multimodal action recognition (from video and audio), machine learning approaches for sound separation and vocal segmentation, statistical inference of social learning strategies, reinforcement learning of vocal repertoires, sensory substitution, neural population recording and analysis, and wireless brain imaging, among others.
Background
- Research interests include how intelligence emerges from the physical substrate, particularly focusing on the relationship between brain structure and function.
Miscellany
- Quotes Misha Mahowald: 'We can’t afford that all of our research is devoted to the machine, because what we are trying to learn about isn’t the machine we are building: it’s the brain.'
