AboutMyWork
About my work, and work related sorts of things...
Currently I work in the lab of Michael Shadlen. Here is my resume.
Recently, Mike was on the Charlie Rose Show talking about our work. I wrote about it on my blog. He shows some movies I coded during the show, and this page is also about movies I have made that re-create other experiments we have done in the lab.
A PDF I wrote to teach myself basic statistics.
A PDF I wrote in an applied math class that explores solving ordinary and partial differential equations numerically in Matlab.
Some of the work in our lab is about bias in decision making, and this "heavy on the math and graphs and light on the explanation pdf" is the result of my playing around with one of the models we use to incorporate bias into an integrator model for decision making. Basic idea is that one collects evidence either for or against a particular answer, and once you collect enough evidence for a particular choice, you cross that bound and make that choice.
