Learning, Inference & Memory

Athena Akrami's lab at Sainsbury Wellcome Centre, UCL, London

Finding and exploiting patterns and regularities in the environment is a critical brain function. We infer statistical patterns and regularities from sensory input, and these priors are formed through experience and learning.

  <p>The link between past, present, and future memories is crucial for organizing sensory memory and integrating learned priors with current sensory input to make predictions about the future.</p>
  <p>At LIM Lab, we use theory, experiment, high-throughput training, behavioral paradigms, and tools to monitor neural circuits to understand how the brain learns, remembers, and makes inferences.</p>

We are hiring!

We received a Consolidator Grant from the European Research Council (ERC) to investigate statistical learning in rats, mice, and humans.

This €2 million award over five years enables us to conduct long-term research and recruit postdoctoral fellows and research technicians.
