Research interests |
|
I am interested in the brain simplification solutions of invertebrates. When constrained by a limited number of neurons, brains have to develop clever circuitry to save computational power while maintaining function. My main model species is the jumping spider, specifically its visual system. I aim at applying these simplification solutions to technological developments. |
