The Bayesian Behavior Lab uses theory as well as computational and neural modeling to understand how information is processed in the nervous system, explaining data obtained in collaboration with electrophysiologists and in psychophysical experiments. Our work addresses information processing in the nervous system from two angles: (1) Analyzing and explaining electrophysiological data we study what neurons do and (2) Analyzing and explaining human behavior we study what all these neurons do together. Much of our work looks at these questions from a normative viewpoint, asking what problems the nervous system should be solving. This often means taking a Bayesian approach. more...
