Rama Natarajan

I am interested in computational approaches to neural representation and coding, to further an understanding of how the brain might encode in its neural firing patterns, the richness of infomation needed to explain complex perceptual capabilities.

With my advisor Richard Zemel, I am currently exploring the use of probabilistic approaches to understand the neural mechanisms of sensory information processing, specifically (1) how sensory information is represented by neuronal systems and (2) how the processing of this representation relates to computation and learning in the brain.
