Il Memming Park, PhD, assistant professor of Neurobiology and Behavior, meets with graduate students at the Institute for Advanced Computational Science to develop computationally efficient optimization techniques for modeling brain function. Through advanced computation, Park’s research is redefining the way that scientists analyze the dynamics of the brain. By analyzing large-scale physiological neural data collected from neural systems, Park examines how information is encoded as spatiotemporal patterns of neural activity, as well as how information is processed to perform specific computations within and across brain areas.
