Research Interests in brief:






* Field: the formal degree program and group affiliation of a graduate student at Cornell.
Department: the de facto collection of faculty and students.
Program: loosely defined... in this case an umbrella collection of faculty, graduate students, and post-docs in many different fields and departments with interests in neuroscience.

** Normative: approaching problems by answering the question "what ought to be" rather than "what is". For example, we can understand the visual system by directly measuring and characterizing neural responses to stimuli, but a normative approach would be to understand the responses as an efficient encoding of visual experience. Many modeling approaches answer questions of "what" or "how" for neural responses, but normative models also help to answer "why".
