Ph.D. Candidate studying computational neuroscience
at Cognitive and Neural Systems, Boston University
Research Advisor:
Stephen Grossberg
B.A. Cognitive Science, University of Pennsylvania. 2003
minors in Computer Science, Physics, and Philosophy.
Are neural oscillations a means for the brain to regulate types of learning?
Is there an interdependence between pattern matching and the evolved laminar circuitry of cortex?
What role does sleep play in the oscillatory regulation of this circuitry?
Constructing dynamical systems from current neurophysiological findings,
I analyze their behavior computationally with
KINNESS
and
MATLAB,
to theorize spiking neural architectures of cortex and resolve these questions.
