Episode Synopsis "Episode 11 - Using Neural Modeling and Simulation to Understand Human Cognition and Age-Related Decline"

Neuroscientist Dr. Brad Voytek in the Department of Cognitive Science at UC San Diego uses neural modeling and simulation to understand the physiological basis of human cognition and age-related decline. Drs Voytek, Darrow and Herman discuss the role of oscillations in the brain, the relationship between noise, oscillations, and behavior as well as Dr. Voytek’s unique journey from Uber to a successful computational neuroscientist.
