Career Trajectory
Bio
The long-term goal of the Kepecs laboratory is to reverse engineer the computational and neurobiological processes underlying cognition and decision-making and apply these insights to biological psychiatry.
The laboratory starts with quantifiable behavioral tasks, for both humans and rodents, that enable the lab to isolate and study distinct cognitive processes, such as decision confidence. The lab probes the neural basis of these processes in rodents using state-of-the-art electrophysiological, imaging, and optogenetic techniques to establish the underlying neural mechanisms. Given the complexity of behavior and the dynamics of neural networks producing it, the lab also develops new algorithms for analyzing data and models to help us interpret them. By understanding how brains accomplish cognitive tasks, often beyond the capacity of current machine learning algorithms, the lab also expects to uncover new computational principles.
In terms of topics our approach is multifaceted, currently the lab studies the neural basis of decision confidence, impulsivity, social value and foraging; the division of labor among cell-types in prefrontal cortex; communication across cortical regions; neuromodulatory systems and most recently brain-body interactions.
