Teaching Summary

MSc Computational Neuroscience, Cognition, and AI

I lead and teach Computational Cognitive Psychology (PSGY4061). My seminars cover computational models of working memory and decision making. Topics include reinforcement learning, the explore-exploit trade-off, Bayesian inference, and attractor dynamics. Professional Skills for Behavioural Science Research (PSGY4032) I lead the School's 1st year PhD training course (PSGY4032). A year-long series of workshops, including Project & Time Management, Impact, Open Science, Publishing, and more.

Current Research

I'm a systems neuroscientist who happens to use computational and statistical models rather than animal models to study the brain. Our research interrogates how the joint activity of many neurons encodes the past, present, and future in order to guide behaviour. To do this, we drive the development of widely-applicable data analysis techniques, and use them to analyse recordings of hundreds or thousands of neurons, recordings across different tasks, brain circuits, species, and phyla. And we develop theoretical and computational models for how this joint activity arises from neural circuits.
