How do our neural circuits infer the things out in the world? Statistical inference is a principled framework for making sense of our sense data. We seek to predict how neural circuits would behave if they did perform or approximate inference, and we collaborate with experimentalists to test these predictions. This is interdisciplinary research that draws on neuroscience, physics, and machine learning.  Publications/Creative Works Click here to search for this faculty member's publications on PubMed.  Affiliations  Research Consortia Gulf Coast Consortium for Theoretical and Computational Neuroscience Gulf Coast Cluster for NeuroEngineering  Training Grants NeuroEngineering IGERT NLM Training Program in Biomedical Informatics & Data Science for Predoctoral and Postdoctoral Fellows  Appointments Title Department / School Institution Associate Professor Electrical and Computer Engineering Rice University Associate Professor Computational Neuroscience Baylor College of Medicine
