Research
My advisors are Jean-Marc Fellous and Michael Chertkov. We primarily investigate replay events in the brain, which are the reactivation of neural sequences during rest and sleep resembling the sequences from prior exploratory behavior. The main research questions we are tackling are:
- How replay can be detected from neuron population activity using principled causal methods?
- How do replay mechanisms offer insights into continual learning in artificial intelligence?
