Areas of study

Neuroanatomy

Neural codes

Understanding the way Information is encoded in neurons, and their firing

Firing rate <> Amplitude of estimulus.

Firing pattern also encodes information.

Grid cells in the Entorhinal cortex

Prediction error

Temporal coding

Binding through coherence. Brain oscillations

Computational neuroscience

From brain activity

Circuits <> Computations <> Behaviour

In trying to understand machinery we often assume as if it was constructed, but it evolved

Theoretical neuroscience

Theoretical Neuroscience book

Cognitive neuroscience

How neurons and other systems in the brain give rise to Cognition

Human learning

Hebbian theory

"Cells that fire together, wire together."

Consciousness

Developmental neuroscience

Grand Challenge: Nature Versus Nurture: How Does the Interplay of Biology and Experience Shape Our Brains and Make Us Who We Are?
