the summer of 2021 at the Nathan Kline Institute for Psychiatric Research in Orangeburg, NY (</span><a href="https://www.nki.rfmh.org/"><span style="font-size:11pt;font-family:Arial;color:#1155cc;font-weight:400;text-decoration:underline;text-decoration-skip-ink:none">https://www.nki.rfmh.org/</span></a><span style="font-size:11pt;font-family:Arial;color:#000000;font-weight:400">).
Research will be conducted under the mentorship of Samuel Neymotin, Haroon Anwar, and Salvador Dura-Bernal to help achieve the goals of an ARO grant (PI: Neymotin) that aims to train neocortical circuit models to play video games using biologically-plausible
learning rules, and to compare the models’ performance against commonly used deep reinforcement learning algorithms. Students will have the opportunity to learn cutting edge methods in computational neuroscience, machine learning, and Python software development,
and potentially publish their results.</span></p>
