Interests

My previous work has focused on providing a normative explanation for homeostasis of neural activity. Using the tools of efficient coding theory, I developed a framework that explains neural homeostasis in terms of a tradeoff between energy and information.

Currently my research focuses more general on the relationship between noisy transmission and metabolic costs in the brain. If you are interested in collaborating then please get in touch!
