Paul Cisek

Doctoral studies in computational neuroscience, focusing on the neural mechanisms of embodied decision-making and action planning in humans and non-human primates. The research involves computational models of the nervous system integrated with behavioral experiments, transcranial magnetic stimulation, and multi-electrode recording in multiple regions of the cerebral cortex and basal ganglia. New projects will use virtual reality to study naturalistic behavior and develop theoretical models of distributed cortical and subcortical circuits.
