Decision Neuroscience Lab

Purpose
The human brain is a system like no other, capable of applying knowledge and experience to solve the infinite variety of problems we encounter in life. But the brain doesn’t only solve familiar problems – it adapts to new environments, learns to discover and understand what was once unknown, and creates truly original solutions. Our research aims to understand how this capacity for general intelligence emerges from the network topology and dynamics of the human connectome. By uncovering the neural foundations of intelligence, we aim to drive innovation in cognitive enhancement, neurorehabilitation, and biologically inspired artificial intelligence.
