But in order to bring this future to fruition we first need to understand the specific neural code with which semantic information is stored in the brain and the precise mechanisms through which it is retrieved on demand so that later on we can engineer a system that can take advantage of those mechanisms. Whether I will see this future realized during my lifetime is anybody’s best guess, but I have decided to dedicate my work and efforts to help make it a reality.
I am currently a PhD student at Carnegie Mellon University and the Center for the Neural Basis of Cognition with Prof. Lynne Reder. My research focuses on how prior knowledge affects the acquisition of new information with the goal of developing and testing an integrated computational model of episodic and semantic memory.
