We seek to understand how populations of neurons collectively process sensory input, perform computations and control behaviour. To this end, we develop statistical models and machine learning algorithms for large-scale analysis of neural data, and collaborate with experimental laboratories performing measurements of neural activity and behaviour. Are choice probabilities explained by serial dependencies? Paper accepted to Journal of Neuroscience. Three papers accepted at NIPS.

The Redwood Center for Theoretical Neuroscience is a group of theorists consisting of faculty, postdocs and graduate students. We are part of the Helen Wills Neuroscience Institute. At the University of California at Berkeley, located in the 5th floor of Evans Hall. The Redwood Center hosts seminars. And distinguished lecturers and visitors. These programs are supported by the Redwood Center Endowment, made possible by a generous gift from the Strauss-Hawkins Trust.
