My laboratory studies the neural mechanisms of learning.
Her laboratory studies the neural mechanisms of learning.
Dr. Kushnir's research examines mechanisms of learning in young children, with a focus on social learning.
Scholl, J. et al. The good, the bad, and the irrelevant: neural mechanisms of learning real and hypothetical rewards and effort.
Alternatively, the widespread effects may reflect general mechanisms of learning during an intensive educational experience and therefore may not be specific to the curriculum of this reading intervention.
Current Research and Scholarly InterestsWe study the neural mechanisms of learning, using a combination of behavioral, neurophysiological, and computational approaches.
To obtain insight into the working mechanisms of learning a reflex like the VOR we can benefit substantially from both the qualitative and quantitative experimental verifications and falsifications of our computational predictions.
BMIs therefore provide a powerful tool for studying the neural mechanisms of learning that highlights the critical role of learning in engineered neural therapies.
Because many of the similarities in the data from the two systems typify general features of cerebellar organization, the cerebellar mechanisms of learning in these two systems may represent principles that apply to many motor systems.
Either there are multiple mechanisms of learning that use different combinations of neural signals to drive plasticity, or there is a single mechanism tuned to climbing-fiber activity that follows activity in vestibular pathways by approximately 100 msec.
As an experimental system, learning in the VOR offers many advantages: the neural circuitry mediating the behavior is well understood, putative sites of synaptic plasticity have been identified, and a key neural structure is the cerebellum, which is well suited for both in vivo and in vitro studies of the mechanisms of learning.
