What I do

I am generally interested in how the human brain gives rise to cognition. This includes fundamental questions like how we perceive the world around us, how we keep what we perceive in working memory, and how we make decisions. It also includes more complex questions, like how we are able to describe in language what we see, how we map language we hear onto the world we see and remember, as well as how we are able to imagine entirely new worlds.

Understanding how the brain enables us to do all of this is interesting in its own right. However, I am also eager to use what I am learning to solve problems. How can we apply the underlying neural principles to advance technology and improve peoples' lives? And in what way may neuromorphic technology help in this endeavor?
