Foraging in virtual reality
How do we build internal models? How do we identify them in neural activity?
We are interested in understanding how one builds internal models to abstract information and rapidly solve tasks. We collaborate with the Buffalo lab in working with nonhuman primates that learn to navigate and forage in virtual reality environments.
