PhD candidate will work on a research project focusing on the effects of memory
and past experience on decision-making, and the biophysical constraints that
neural circuits impose on behavioral performance. The candidate will be
involved in the analysis and computer simulation of neural circuit models based
on existing experimental data. The ultimate goal of the project is to design a
cortical circuit model able to match both the physiology of cortical neurons
and the performance of subjects in decision-making tasks. The model will
produce novel experimental predictions, guide further analysis, and ultimately
provide a better understanding of the neural mechanisms of memory and decision-making.<br style>
