Building a state space for song learning
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2018)Song learning circuitry is thought to operate using a unique representation of each moment within each song syllable. Distinct timestamps for each moment in the song have been observed in the premotor cortical nucleus HVC, ... -
Towards optical connectomics : feasibility of 3D reconstruction of neural morphology using expansion microscopy and in situ molecular barcoding
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2018)Reconstruction of the 3D morphology of neurons is an essential step towards the analysis and understanding of the structures and functions of neural circuits. Optical microscopy has been a key technology for mapping brain ... -
Emotion as information : inferring the unobserved causes of others' emotional expressions
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2018)Research in the domain of cognitive science has tended to neglect emotions. In my thesis, I take several steps to fill this gap by looking at people's representation of emotions, and its connection to other representations ...
