This project seeks to develop biologically plausible neural models, both computational (including RNNs and CNNs) and theoretical, to simulate and analyze large scale brain data (fMRI/EEG). A key challenge is to be able to identify cognitive states, and predict behaviour based on recordings of brain activity. For example, where is a subject is paying attention in a complex visual scene? Can we predict a subject's eye movements when many targets are presented to them? The goal is to be able to build mathematical links between brain and behaviour.
