Description

“The human brain comprises approximately 100 billion neurons, each with approximately 1,000 connections to other neurons. How do these neurons coordinate to control movement? To discover fundamental principles we conduct electrophysiological experiments with nonhuman primates (NHPs) and people, and create theories and computational analyses to decipher how computations are performed through their collective dynamics (Computation Through Dynamics, CTD)”
