What we dO

We study embodied intelligence—the idea that the brain and body form a dynamic, bidirectional circuit in which physiological states shape neural activity, and vice versa. We believe that this continuous dialogue between body and brain underlies how we learn, feel, and adapt. By investigating the computational principles that govern perception, learning, and control—both of our internal bodily states and the external world—we aim to uncover new insights into the foundations of mental and physical well-being.
