<p class="gmail-MsoBodyText" style="text-align:justify;margin:0cm 0cm 6pt;font-size:12pt;font-family:"Times New Roman",serif"><span lang="EN-US">We investigate how networks of neurons in the cerebral cortex encode,
process and transmit information to generate behaviors such as sensation and
decision-making. To address these issues, we develop and use information-theoretic
and machine learning methods to study population coding, as well as neural
network models to individuate mechanisms for neural information processing and
generation of functions. </span></p>

Alessandro Gozzi at IIT, Mriganka Sur at MIT, as well as collaborations with
experimental laboratories in Hamburg (Andreas Engel, Tobias Donner, Ileana
Hanganu-Opatz). <span style="color:rgb(26,26,26)">The laboratory also offers a
thriving, ambitious and well-funded research environment (with funds from the
NIH Brain Initiative, the Simons Foundation, the European Union, the ERC). The
