Saxena Lab
Wu Tsai Institute at Yale University
We aim to better understand the brain using computational methods.
We are a dynamic research group at the Wu Tsai Institute at Yale University. We develop biologically inspired goal- and data- driven artificial intelligence methods to elucidate the neurodynamical basis of behavior, ranging from sensorimotor control to social behavior. Our aim is to better understand the brain using computational methods. We are broadly interested in topics on the interface of dynamical systems, control theory, and neuroscience. We are grateful to be funded by the NIH, the NSF, the Simons Foundation, and the Alfred P. Sloan Foundation.
