Hi Reddit!

As a cognitive scientist, my main goal is to understand how the human brain works. That is, how our brain yields the set of observable human behaviors we see in ourself and others. I take a computational view. This means, I assume the brain performs a series of computations, similar to those executed by a computer, to decide how to interpret and respond to some input or situation. You can think about my work as identifying the algorithm the brain uses to solve a problem.
