Christian Ruff Professor of Neuroeconomics and Decision Neuroscience University of Zurich Dazed and confused? Neuro-computational origins of variability in goal-directed behavior Goal-directed choices can vary strongly across time, even when the choice options remain constant. Classical behavioral choice models from psychology and economics subsume this variability in unspecific noise terms that have no clearly defined mental basis. In this […]

Thomas Schatz Department of Linguistics University of Maryland Quantitative models of adult phonetic category perception and infant phonetic learning I leverage speech technology to build quantitative models of adult phonetic category perception and infant phonetic learning in humans. In this talk, I will show how this approach not only provides concrete implementation of […]
Chris Summerfield Professor of Cognitive Neuroscience Oxford University Location: Levin Auditorium (425 S. University Ave.)
Chris Harvey Department of Neurobiology Harvard University Cortical dynamics for flexible navigation decisions We study flexible sensorimotor decision-making in mice during navigation-based tasks in virtual reality. I will present approaches to study this topic using analyses of population dynamics from calcium imaging movies, optogenetic perturbations, and measurements of behavioral variability. We have developed […]
