Kanaka Rajan

Kanaka Rajan is a computational neuroscientist in the [https://neuro.hms.harvard.edu/ Department of Neurobiology at Harvard Medical School] and founding faculty in the [https://www.harvard.edu/kempner-institute/ Kempner Institute for the Study of Natural and Artificial Intelligence] at Harvard University. Rajan trained in engineering, biophysics, and neuroscience, and has pioneered novel methods and models to understand how the brain processes sensory information. Her research seeks to understand how important cognitive functions — such as learning, remembering, and deciding — emerge from the cooperative activity of multi-scale neural processes, and how those processes are affected by various neuropsychiatric disease states. The resulting integrative theories about the brain bridge neurobiology and artificial intelligence. Provided by Wikipedia
