The team

Current lab members

Arindrajit Paul

Research Assistant

Department of Physiology and Biophysics University of Colorado Anschutz

I work on identifying the strategies humans use in multi-timescale inference tasks where latent or hidden features are in play.

Jacopo Epifanio

Visiting Scholar

Universitat Pompeu Fabra

I train recurrent neural networks on latent-inference targets to investigate how hidden environmental state and task-relevant variables are represented in neural population dynamics during predictive decision-making.

Jenna Cohen

Graduate Student

Neuroscience Gradaute Program University of Colorado Anschutz

My project investigated cognitive differences underlying decision making strategies in different groups using computational methods such as Bayesian modeling.

Laavanya Joshi Malik

Masters Student

Department of Biostatistics University of Colorado Anschutz

I work on analyzing local field potential activity from human ECoG to identify how neural populations predict latent environmental features.

Zara Chandra

Masters Student

Department of Applied Math University of Colorado Boulder

I work on investigating how recurrent neural networks encode latent variables, and how Bayesian dynamics, heuristic shortcuts, and biases arise during training.
