Sompolinsky’s research goal is to uncover the fundamental principles of the organization, the dynamics and the function of the brain, viewing the brain through multiscale lenses, spanning the molecular, the cellular, and the circuit levels. To achieve...
There are millions of sequence variants between humans and other species. The Song lab aims to identify and characterize the variants that contributed to human-specific traits, with a particular focus on the evolution of the human brain. In particular, we...
My lab focuses on developing theories of neural representations to understand neural coding and the relationship between neural geometry and computation in biological and artificial neural networks. This involves creating theories, methods, and models...
Human-machine integration seeks to harmonize advanced engineering with the human body’s complex biological systems, a task that remains challenging due to the limitations of current technology and the separation between disciplines like engineering...
The Harvard Ability Lab aims to improve people’s mobility by bridging biomechanics, neuroscience, and AI. Our research focuses on uncovering the causal links between cognition and motor control to understand movement, improve rehabilitation, and...
My research aims to understand how richly structured knowledge about the environment is acquired, and how this knowledge aids adaptive behavior. I use a combination of behavioral, neuroimaging and computational techniques to pursue these questions.
One...
The ability of efficiently acquiring sensory information and selecting an appropriate action is the essence of flexible behaviors. To make good decisions, it is also crucial to evaluate the consequences of previous actions (gains and costs) and adjust...
