My current main research interest is in predictive
processing across different animal species.
Specifically, I am interested in how prediction errors
are represented across brain regions. To this end, I am
combining neural recordings from marmosets and
drosophila with tools from information theory.
I am also interested in neural dynamics, how they can
be characterised mathematically and how they might
change during cognitive tasks. The particular neural
dynamics I am interested in are a form of balance
between ordered and disordered activity, termed
criticality.
During my masters, I explored how these particular
neural dynamics can be maintained using a balance of
excitation and inhibition in zebrafish.
