What we do

The brain and the body form a circuit wherein body states and brain states bidirectionally affect each other. ​We believe that studying this interaction can generate new insights into learning, emotions, and ultimately our mental and physical well-being. To do so, we examine the computational basis of our perception, learning, and control of our bodies and the external world.
